When the Angels address a weakness, they don't waste any time. Los Angeles used all 20 of its picks in the 2021 MLB draft on pitchers.
One prep player—Mason Albright from IMG Academy—was selected and 19 college pitchers had their names called by the Angels.
The team's first pick was Miami (Ohio) product Sam Bachman who was picked at No. 9. He posted only a 4–4 record in 2021, but had a 1.81 ERA and struck out 93 batters in 59 innings pitched.
The last pick to cap off the one-dimensional draft was Marcelo Perez of TCU.
