Stop if you've heard this before: Tyler Bremner getting selected No. 2 overall in the 2025 MLB Draft was shocking. There are big picture reasons why the Angels took a player who several reputable sites ranked as a mid-first round talent that high, but chief amongst them has to be that Bremner's tragic familial struggles were not reflected enough in his evaluations.
In June, his mother passed away due to cancer and her funeral was a week before the draft. As everybody knows, there's a direct correlation between somebody's personal life and its effect on one's occupation.
