7 NUMBERS GAME

For Hansel Robles, it has been a tale of two teams. And the numbers prove it. The Angels acquired Robles off waivers from the Mets nearly two years ago. His four-year in New York at the big-league level ended in unspectacular fashion – that club designated him for assignment in June of 2018 after he posted a 5.03 ERA over 19 2/3 . The sample size may have been small but Robles at the time was not exactly enjoying the type of rebound- the hard- throwing right hander was looking for after posting a 4.92 ERA over 46 games in 2017. With the Mets from 2015-18, Robles struck 229 batters over 208 career innings (9.9 K/9). But he also surrendered 32 home runs over that span. When Robles the waiver wire, most teams passed. Most also would not have envisioned a role on their team in which the Dominican would secure 23 saves one year later….or, for that matter, sport a unique nickname and create a dynamic entrance at the same time! But back to the numbers. Sure, Robles averaged almost 96 miles per hour with his . But the real question remained: Could be find sustained success with his strong arm? Since joining the Angels he has pitched 109 innings. His ERA in an Angels uniform is 2.64 and 2.99 FIP with averages of 9.2 and 2.6 walks (compared to 4 walks with the Mets). The allowed number is also down -- just 0.7 home runs allowed per nine – and his total last year was eighth best in the junior circuit, despite not starting the season as the club’s (he had one save after the first month of the season). He also last year finished fifth in games finished; ninth in games pitched; ninth in win probability added; and he even started his first big league game. In addition to the 23 saves he posted a 5-1 record and his 2.48 ERA was the best of his career; the lowest on the team; and he was the only Halo hurler to post a sub-3.00 ERA ( was next best at 3.23). and up in the zone/above the zone. He’s far from the only to In addition, the role in wish Robles flourished was new to him. From begin to shift his focus to high four-seamers, but most can’t 2015-18, he had three career saves in 224 relief appearances. Heck match Robles’ combination of fastball spin rate (85th percentile) over nine minor leagues seasons Robles saved only eight contests. and fastball velocity (96th percentile). So, what else changed? The most notable difference in the 2019 version of Robles, According to research by writer Tim Adams of MLBTradeRumors. however, was his sudden reliance on a he’d never tossed com, Robles in 2019 not only saw his average fastball velocity at even a four percent clip before. Robles had thrown a total of 115 spike to 97 MPH he also changed the manner in which he used it in his career prior to 2019. He threw 262 changeups to attack hitters. last year alone. The proved to be the most effective offering Robles’ approach in his last full season with the Mets (2017) was in his newly expanded arsenal and greatly improved his ability to to bust right-handed hitters in off the plate and to work them low handle left-handed hitters. Opponents posted a ridiculous-looking and away. In 2019, he stopped focusing on working righties inside .169/.179/.215 line in plate appearances that ended with the and instead ramped up his usage of four-seamers off the plate away pitch, which carried a hefty 19.5 percent swinging-strike 8

NUMBERS GAME HANSEL ROBLES

Fueled by his newfound comfort with the changeup, Robles held hitters to a .221/.263/.332 batting line on the whole last season. That translates to a .254 weighted on-base average (wOBA) that tied him for the 38th-best mark among the 631 pitchers who faced at least 50 hitters in 2019. That excellence wasn’t just a case of BABIP smoke and mirrors, either; Robles’ .280 average on balls in play last season fell right in line with his career .278 mark. Based on those K/BB numbers and the quality of contact he allowed (or rather, the lack thereof), Statcast pegged him for an expected wOBA of .269 that closely resembles his actual mark. He ranked in the 76th percentile or better in terms of expected batting average, and wOBA as well as hard-hit rate allowed. This isn’t the first time that Robles has had success in the Majors. In 2015-16, he tossed 131 2/3 innings with a 3.55 ERA, seemingly beginning to solidify himself as a reliable cog. But Robles has never looked this good before, either.

Major League Baseball, the MLBPA and Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the creation of the MLB The Show Players League on April 10. The first competitive MLB The Show league solely featuring Major League players, one player from each team represented their Major League Clubs and played each other in the inaugural online event to engage fans around the world and raise funds for Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Boys & Girls Clubs of . 19 The Angels were represented by Ty Buttrey in the Players League, “When I first found out I was in the tournament, I will admit that I which followed a round-robin format (playing every team one time) could’ve been practicing a little more,” Buttrey continued. “I started throughout April. After each player completed their 29-regular off practicing two hours a day and then increased to three to four season, three- games, the top eight teams advanced to a hours per day. Once I started training with McGunski, it increased to Postseason tournament. five to eight hours a day.” Buttrey is an avid video game player but primarily plays Xbox After several days of training with the professional gamer, who and had not played MLB The Show in several years. After starting has more than 20,000 Twitch followers, Buttrey became a more off the tournament with a 1-3 record on the first day of competition, patient hitter and learned techniques to better time pitching the Angels right-hander turned to social media and connected with deliveries. He also practiced with fellow Angels reliever Noé Ramirez Ryan Wilcox (known as “McGunski” in the video game community), and competed with fans in three-inning exhibition games and Home an Angels fan who Buttrey referred to as, “The Mike Trout of MLB Run Derbies. The Show.” Buttrey said that his favorite moment from the tournament “I knew my skill level is not going to get it done,” Buttrey told was robbing a home run against Cincinnati’s Amir Garrett and his reporters on a media conference call. “So, I thought if I wanted to favorite victory came against Jeff McNeil from the improve as a baseball player, I would find the best trainer and the (who would go on to reach the tournament semifinals). Additionally, best pitching coach. I asked fans on my Instagram who was really one of his most anticipated matchups came against of good (at the game), and they said McGunski. He has a lot of fans on the crosstown rival Dodgers, as they are both represented by the YouTube and streaming. He destroys every baseball. same agency.

A FEW QUESTIONS with Ryan “McGunski” Wilcox:

Q: HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT FOR YOU? A: This came about when Ty followed me on Instagram. I saw it pop up on my phone and the first thought was that it was either a troll account or someone with a similar name. Once I opened it, I thought it was bizarre that he followed me. Wasn’t till the following morning that he messaged me and explained everything. Q: WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE RECOMMENDED? A: Honestly, I feel I was recommended for two reasons. Within the MLB The Show gaming community I am known as a top player, but also a big Angels fan. I think if I was a fan of the Dodgers, I wouldn’t have been recommended nearly as much to Ty Buttrey.

THE COLLEGE YEARS:

KYLE KELLER’S four-year run at Southeastern Louisiana University led to the right-hander being drafted by the Marlins in the 18th round of the 2015 MLB draft. “Kyle was a coach’s dream. He came into our program talented and hungry to win,” said Matt Riser, Southeastern Louisiana’s since 2014. “We knew very early in his career that he was a fierce competitor,” added Riser, who was the recruiting coordinator under former head coach Jay Artigues, currently director of athletics at Southeastern. “They don’t make many like Kyle anymore. The ones who are humble, driven, competitive and loyal. We are so proud Kyle is a Lion for Life and set the prime example for the future players of our program.” In Hammond, Keller – who joined the Angels via with Miami in early January – allowed just four home runs during his collegiate career (two were during his freshman season and two, in the same game, his junior season (the first one was at home, but each of the final three were on the road).

44 Larry Bilko is one of two Angels to have played for the PCL Angels and the MLB Angels. In 1961, the first season in Angels history, Bilko hit 20 home runs in just 114 games. He was one of five Angels to reach the 20-home run plateau in the club’s inaugural campaign. In 1962, Bilko played in his 64 games with the Angels. It was his 10th and final big-league season after previously playing for five other teams including a six-year run with St. Louis. An Original Angel, Bilko also was the first player to play in the major leagues for both the Angels and the Dodgers. A burly whose playing weight once reached 270 pounds, Bilko in 1955 began a stellar three-year run with the PCL Angels. By that point in his career he had six years of big-league experience on his resume, including a season in St. Louis in which he wacked 21 home runs, but he was not still not an established everyday player. Upon joining the PCL, he had immediate success hitting 37 home runs. In his second season he won the PCL’s with a .360 batting average, 55 homers and 164 RBI. The next season, his last in the PCL before returning to the big leagues in 1958, Bilko hit 56 home runs. His 148 home runs and 428 runs batted in and .330 batting average ultimately helped lead to his induction into the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame in 2003. A right-handed hitter, “the of the palm-tree division” certainly took advantage of the short porch in leftfield at Wrigley Field, winning the home run title in all three years.

BY PETE DONOVAN

Well, of course, there are those who know pretty much know everything about most if not all of them – those in the front office who deal with the hundreds of prospects as well as the big names who call Angel Stadium home. Angels’ Assistant General Managers Steve Martone and Jonathan Strangio are two of those charged with knowing a lot about a lot of players. Tasked with helping General Manager Billy Eppler build the Major League 40-man roster as well as monitor all players under contract (yes, there were 272 earlier this year), Martone and Strangio are invaluable behind-the-scenes members of an organization that has risen dramatically in terms of the value of its farm system. “They advise and opine on all aspects of baseball operations,” said Eppler, currently in his fifth season as the Angels’ General Manager. Just about everyone in the baseball world knows that Mike Trout “I consult with both on all transactions, departmental structure and plays for the Angels. Fans of the team can also tell you about philosophy, planning, and process improvement. Andrelton Simmons, Shohei Ohtani and Albert Pujols. But no one “They correspond with the department heads regularly and then can name all 272 players in the Angel organization. all three of us connect shortly thereafter to discuss the near-term That’s right, 272! happenings as well as the long-term vision of each department.” 69

“OUR“OUR WORKWORK WILLWILL NEVERNEVER BEBE DONE”DONE”

GM Billy Eppler

“We have turned the corner in the past few years,” said Strangio. “We have had a wave of new players who will help the Major League roster and we expect more to come.” “We’re getting better,” added Martone. “But we’ll never be satisfied. We aim to have a wealth of talented, young players in our system.” “Our farm system has taken notable steps forward over the past few years,” said Eppler. “Heading into the 2016 season, the farm system was ranked 30th and over the four-year period from 2013- 2016, the highest ranking was 28th.” Wrote Baseball America: “Starting with the two guys at the top (Jo Adell, Brandon Marsh), this organization has a lot of toolsy, athletic types that are of the high-risk, high-reward variety.” Both execs mentioned left-handed pitchers Jose Suarez (22) and Patrick Sandoval (23) as prospects to watch. Suarez was signed as an international free agent and Sandoval, who is from nearby Mission Viejo, was acquired by trade. Martone and Strangio are also charged with rules and collective bargaining compliance, baseball analytics, salary arbitration and contract negotiations as well as construction of the 40-man roster that will represent the team during any Major League season. “We are always available to help Billy in whatever area he needs, from international scouting to pro scouting to the draft,” said Martone. A 39-year old native of Houston, Martone has been with the Angels since 2016. Strangio, who played baseball at Harvard, is 31 and has been with the organization since 2012. “We are talent driven, for sure,” said Martone. “We certainly want to build an organization where players compliment other players and there’s a premium on flexibility in today’s game,” Martone said. “Almost all young players play in the middle of the field, or second or center field (when they are in high school or college), but they move around to other spots. A great example is David Fletcher,

With college baseball shut down for the year (and players given one more year of eligibility), the Major League Baseball draft could be streamlined with fewer rounds and with minor leagues dealing with financial uncertainty, execs like Strangio and Martone are navigating a different field. “We will always be trying to get as many good players as we can, through the draft, free agency or trades,” said Martone. “We are also involved with international scouting and professional scouting.” There are numerous players drafted and signed who will never make it onto an Angel roster. Some could be traded as assets to fill needs in the organization, including pressing needs. There are many long-term prospects, too. One is shortstop Kyren Paris who was taken early in the second round of last year’s draft. He just turned 18. “He was the youngest player taken in the draft last year,” said Martone. “He’s a great kid, with a great family, with a great work ethic. And he’ll get bigger and stronger.” The challenge for the Angels is to get Paris and other young players as many at-bats as possible in this summer of upheaval. Eppler: “We had to take a direction over speed approach to building our system “WE’RE“WE’RE GETTINGGETTING because we were not comfortable stripping down the Major League club, as we’ve seen BETTER,BETTER, BUTBUT other organizations do, by trading controllable players to expedite the build. We did not think WE’LL NEVER BE that approach was fair to our fans or to our WE’LL NEVER BE core players. SATISFIED” “Our work will never be done,” Eppler SATISFIED” continued, “but creating a farm system that can regularly produce Major League quality players is the bedrock of championship Steve Martone caliber teams.”

NEW ADDITION: COACH JOHN MALLEE

John Mallee joined the Angels as Assistant Hitting Coach over the winter after working as the Hitting Coach for the last two seasons. He previously worked on Joe Maddon’s Cubs staff as Hitting Coach from 2015-17, including Chicago’s Championship team. A native of Chicago, Mallee was the Hitting Coach for the Astros (2013-14) and Marlins (2010-11) after working as a Minor League Hitting Coordinator in the Marlins organization from 2002-10. The 51-year old played two minor league seasons in the Phillies organization (1991-92) and began his coaching career as a Minor League Hitting Coach in the Brewers (1996-2000) and Expos (2001) organizations.

MADDON ON MALLEE:

“First of all, he is a dynamic personality. He’s a lot of fun in the clubhouse and the players love him. Beyond that, he’s a real strong instructor. I’ve always been a fan of what he knows and how he presents it. All the players that have been around him, have flocked to him and want to hear what he has to say. When things aren’t going well, the players know that John will be there at 10 a.m. for a 7 p.m. game. Sometimes, I think he spends too much time researching things, but that’s who he is and the players see that and appreciate it. He’s a dynamic coach and I know our players are going to love him. Right now, with him, Jeremy (Reed) and Paulie (Sorrento), I don’t think anybody’s got a better trilogy set up regarding hitting than we do. I could not be happier.”

MANAGER BOBBY WINKLES

Former Angels manager Bobby Winkles passed away in April. He was 90 years old. Winkles’ time with the Angels was relatively brief.

CHUCK FINLEY – on the Angels left side “On the left-side of your infield, that is as good as it gets with Simmons and Rendon. And you have to have that. That spot has been tied down very nicely. Add in David Fletcher’s glove and you have some real nice pieces to support the pitchers defensively.”

MARK LANGSTON – on the Angels left side defense “As a left-handed pitcher I know how hard the left side of the infield has to work and with the addition of Rendon is got increasingly better. David Fletcher has been very, very good at third with Simmons and Rendon you are talking about Gold Glove guys. I love defense it that area of the team is as improved as you can get.”

101 THE WRIGHT STUFF

Angels alum Clyde “Skeeter” Wright is an author and he is sharing his book with Angel Magazine! A former 20-game winner for the club, long-time contributor to the local baseball community and Angels ambassador, the affable Wright worked with his son Jaret and writer Brian Honea to pen ‘Baseball The Wright Way,’ which can be purchased at retail bookstores, Amazon and online merchants. “The reason I wrote the book was because people really love baseball stories and everybody knows I always have a story or two to tell. They would always ask for more, and I heard more than once that I should write a book because I had so many,” said Wright. “When my son, Jaret, was done playing we decided to get together and do it. It was fun listening to each other’s stories. Comparing differences and similarities and stars of the different eras of baseball. It was interesting, though, that even though we played in different eras our thought processes while pitching was basically the same.” This month, Clyde and his wife Vicki share Chapter 5 which is entitled ‘Major League Debut’ as Wright shares fond memories of his initial days in an Angels uniform.

n 1966, I made it to the big leagues because of a combination Iof two things: I was pretty good, and the Angels were really terrible. At the time I was called up, the team was .500, but we were in fourth place and eight and a half games out of first place in the American League. The pitching staff was bad, and they had a couple of guys who were hurt. We had a pitcher named Freddie Newman who was hurt in June, so they called me up. Freddie joked with me when I got to the big leagues. “If I hadn’t gotten hurt, you wouldn’t be here.” I joked back. “It was only a matter of time before I took your job anyway!” When I went to spring training the first year with the big club in 1966, I got a list of all the pitchers, and I went through the list one name at a time. I’d come to a name and say, “I’m better than he is,” and I would I still have that scorecard today. I cross his name out and then repeat the process. Before long, I had it only got two scorecards from when down to about ten or eleven pitchers. I ended up making the club in June. I played—the one from the no-hitter I pitched my first game in the big leagues at Minnesota on June and the one that sent me. 15, 1966, about three or four days after I was called up.

I joke with a , four-hitter, and went two-for-three with an RBI him about that all the time. Once, I single at the plate. The opposing pitcher for the Twins that day was told him, “You won a gold glove one Jim Kaat. By coincidence, years later, Jim Kaat was announcing the year and you didn’t even play, for Yankees games on TV when my son was playing for the Yankees. crying out loud!” Kaat had the scorecard from my major league debut when I pitched My former college coach, Frosty against him that day in Minnesota. He sent it to me and signed it, and Holt, called me in Minnesota to 102 Champion parenthood Champion childhood Champion neighborhood

Richard Milhous Nixon, in addition to serving as the 37th President in U.S. history, was an avid baseball fanatic. And there is little doubt that when it came to baseball and politics, President Nixon held – and continues to hold – the title of number one fan-in-chief. Born in Yorba Linda in 1913, Mr. Nixon attended his first big league game in 1936 (on July 4 no less) when as a Duke University law student he travelled to Washington D.C. to see the Senators play the Yankees, which featured Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig no less. He returned to practice law in California after graduating from Duke and was later elected to the House of Representatives and then Congress before serving as the nation’s 36th Vice President from 1953-61. It was also in 1961 that the Angels began play as the newest addition to the American League. Mr. Nixon enjoyed a tremendous friendship with Angels Founder and Original Owner Gene Autry. In 1966, the Angels began play at Anaheim Stadium, and that was just two years before Mr. Nixon ran for the presidency again and was elected, defeating Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace in a close election. In later years Nixon was often a visitor to Anaheim Stadium where he attended the Angels 1979 division clinching victory over the Royals and joined the Angels’ clubhouse celebration. During the party, a photographer captured drenching the former President with beer. He passed away on April 22, 1994 in and was buried on the grounds of the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, at the side of his First Lady, on April 27, 1994. The eulogists at his State Funeral were President Bill Clinton, Senator Robert Dole, California Governor Pete Wilson, and his second Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger. The Nixon Library this season is sharing with Angel Magazine an array of historical baseball photos that reflect Mr. Nixon’s love of baseball (the photo below, during the 1979 clinching celebration, is from the Angels Archives).
