Angels prepare for MLB Draft under new management philosophy

The Los Angeles Angels are set for the upcoming MLB Draft with John Mozeliak as the new GM following Perry Minasian's dismissal. Though Mozeliak will not stay for the results, he has indicated a shift towards allowing the scouting team more autonomy in player selection. He previously noted that while he has no experience in scouting amateur players, he is looking to adapt the successful processes established during his time with the Cardinals. Historically, the Angels have favored collegiate players in their drafts, but Mozeliak’s recent comments suggest a willingness to explore high school prospects as well. The team holds notable picks on Day 1, including No. 45, No. 81, and No. 109.
