The 2025 season is proof that this Angels team just does not have enough to get over the hump. They flirted with the playoffs for the first half, but the loss of Ron Washington seemed to leave the team unable to fully dominate for more than one or two games at a time.

Kyle Schwarber has turned into the best hitter in all of MLB this season.
