LA Angels forgotten prospect Kevin Matian is slowly developing into a potential major leaguer

LA Angels #20 prospect Kevin Maitan was given a signing bonus by the Braves of 4.25 million at age 16. He was ranked as the top International player in all of Major League Baseball at the time. With all the hype came a lot of lofty expectations. Maitan knew he had to work hard to reach his full potential, but after only one year in the Braves organization the MLB levied sanctions on the Braves for signing International Free Agents when they were too young.

This ruling made Maitan a free agent and the Angels were able to sign him in the Winter of 2018.
