For the entirety of Mike Trout’s career, the Angels’ lack of a farm system has consistently been discussed and maligned throughout MLB. While home grown players like Zach Neto, Jo Adell, Nolan Schanuel, Reid Detmers, and Jose Soriano were all important contributors in 2025, the farm system is still not finding itself ranked any higher than 25 by any scouts. And while they have had the occasional Top 100 prospect (2025 first round pick Tyler Bremner currently ranks 91st per MLB.com), 2026 seems to be more of the same for the Angels, with very little top-end coming from the minor leagues.
