With players reporting to a new spring training — MLB is calling it “summer camp” now — this week, and first workouts as early as Friday, let’s take a look of the new rules in place for the 2020 season.
The most relevant change to the Angels is that there will be no limit on how many pitchers a team may carry on their roster in 2020. Previously, the 26-man roster could include a maximum of 13 pitchers, not counting two-way players. But the only player in the majors to qualify this year as a two-way player is Shohei Ohtani, which could have given the Angels an advantage in that they could carry a 14th pitcher if they so chose.
