The Angels ranked 25th in MLB in runs last season, largely because their lineup wasn’t deep enough to sustain injuries. They hope the addition of “professional hitters” like Gio Urshela, Hunter Ren…
The Angels took an unfamiliar path to a familiar destination last year.Instead of crumbling because of poor pitching, as had been their pattern, the 2022 Angels fell apart because of an anemic offense.
Last season the Angels started off with a productive offense. Through May 24 – when they were 27-17 – the Angels ranked second in the majors in OPS. Third baseman Anthony Rendon suffered a wrist injury on May 8, tried to play through it for a couple of weeks, tried to rest it on the injured list for another couple of weeks, and finally succumbed to surgery.
The Angels added infielders Gio Urshela and Brandon Drury and outfielder Hunter Renfroe. While those names aren’t as sexy as some of the stars on the free agent market, they combined for a .794 OPS over 1,638 plate appearances last season. The major league average OPS was .706, and the Angels ranked 23rd with a .687 OPS.
Ward recalled the start of last season and thinks this team is deep enough to keep doing that all year.
