Editor’s Note: The Angels don’t really have a lot for which to cheer. Brutal losses to the Orioles and Tigers have all but wiped out hopes of reaching the postseason in 2019. Thankfully, there is a spark plug in the minors. Jo Adell, the #1 prospect in the Angels farm system and one of the top prospects in baseball, has been promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake City. Given the juiced ball and the altitude, he could put up some exceptional numbers there.
Our very own Rex Fregosi took a look at Adell two years ago, when he had just been drafted and was making his Arizona Rookie League debut.
