WELCOME, ANTHONY RENDON
In October, Anthony Rendon was lifting the World Series trophy. In December, he was wearing an Angels jersey. How quickly things can change. The Angels made one of the biggest moves of the offseason when they agreed to terms with third baseman Anthony Rendon on a seven-year contract. The deal came together quickly; just weeks after he won a title with the Nationals and just a few months removed from a season in which he was named to his first All-Star team in addition to earning his second Silver Slugger Award. The decision to jet west, Rendon said, was made very quickly after the Angels approached him. “The fact that Arte and Carole were adamant about reaching out to [agent] Scott Boras and saying that they really wanted me to be a part of the Angel organization means so much to me and my family,” said Rendon upon being introduced to the media at Angel Stadium. 14
14-16 Welcome Rendon.indd 14 2/5/20 10:40 AM WELCOME, ANTHONY RENDON
“To have that respect, to feel wanted and to want someone to come and be part of your family. That was the one important thing we always talked about when trying to look for an organization we wanted to head to or stay at was a family atmosphere. Somewhere we can plant our roots, build a foundation and just grow our family together.” At the press event Rendon was flanked by family — specifically his wife Amanda and their young daughter Emma. The couple is expecting their second child soon. It was a special moment to culminate an incredible 2019. For the 2019 season, Rendon led the National League in RBI (126), tied for first in doubles (44), ranked second in OBP (.412) and was third in batting average (.319), slugging (.598) and OPS (1.010). Additionally, he was named as the third baseman for the 2019 All-MLB First Team. Rendon has always been a known commodity in baseball-circles. But his red-hot October certainly opened a lot of eyes nationwide. “I was watching a lot of baseball last October and knowing in the back of my mind that the Angels do need pitching, I was watching Rendon in particular very closely, along with Juan Soto, and those guys really stood out to me,” said Mark Langston. “The at-bats he was able to produce in those high leverage, high pressure situations were impressive. You sort of see his pulse rate. You see 15

how he slows the game down. That is what the best of the best can do. It was fun to watch then and it is really going to be fun to watch with the Angels now.” Rendon is not a shy guy but he is also not necessarily someone who seeks a great deal of attention despite playing the game with considerable joy. A native of Houston, Rendon is a product of Rice University who was drafted by the Nats in the first round (sixth overall) in 2011. In our nation’s capital, his career took off. “I was in contact with Tony and I have so much respect for that guy and for that family and everything he represents,” said Washington right-hander Stephen Strasburg. “I just wanted him to be in a situation that was best for him and his family. I’m happy for him. Some guys might think that there’s a better solution out there and that’s respectable. He’s earned that right.” Strasburg knows Rendon’s accomplishments well. Rendon is a career .290 hitter with 245 doubles, 136 home runs and 546 RBI across his seven Major League seasons, all with the Nationals. Since 2016, he ranks second in the and I can express knowledge and wisdom when these guys do have National League (fourth in the Majors) in Wins Above Replacement questions. I am here to help in any way possible.” (24.2), according to FanGraphs, and he also places among N.L. On Mike Trout, Rendon said: “Everyone knows what Mike Trout leaders in doubles (1st; 167), RBI (3rd; 403), OPS (6th; .910), slugging does on a baseball field. I am not sure I can teach him anything (7th; .524) and OBP (8th; .384). there. But I am looking forward to developing a friendship.” He is also as good at third base as he is at the plate. In that span On Simmons, Rendon said: “He has been amazing and he has since 2016, Rendon rates second among all Major League third stolen a lot of hits from me when he was with Atlanta. I have always basemen (led N.L.) in Fangraphs’ Defense metric (34.2).

David Fletcher has been very, very good at trapped in the wrong body. He is eccentric. He is out there and he is third with Andrelton Simmons, and in Rendon you are talking about out-spoken. He fights for his team.” a Gold Glove guy. I love defense and that area of the team is as That fight now in Southern California is for postseason baseball. improved as you can get.” A veteran of four postseasons, Rendon appeared in 17 games during Though he is new to the Angels roster and the American League, the 2019 playoffs, batting .328 with seven doubles, three home runs, it certainly is not lost on Rendon who his new teammates are, even 11 walks and 15 RBI en route to leading the Nationals to their first if some of it is unchartered territory for the 29-year old.

THE PROSPECT
He has not hit a home run at the big league level. He has not stolen a base at the big league level. He has not even sat in a dugout at the big league level. One might have a hard time believing that, what… with all the publicity he has received. Jo Adell is the club’s most talked-about prospect since Mike Trout was rocketing up the organization’s minor league depth chart. And that is something Adell has earned with outstanding play and a tremendous attitude. A right-handed hitting outfielder, those who closely follow the Angels — and Major League Baseball for that matter, as Adell is one of the game’s premier prospects on the whole — know Adell well. Or at least they know the name well. A 20-year-old from Louisville, Adell was selected by the Angels in the first round (10th overall) in 2017. With excellent tools across the board, Adell has no obvious weaknesses. Other than experience. And that first big league home run and big league stolen base will be coming soon. As will Adell.

DUAL THREAT
Shohei Ohtani played in 106 games with the Angelsels last season. He hit .286 with 18 home runs and 62 runs batted in. HHee led the team in triples and stolen bases. He hit for the cycle. And, yet, heading into 2020 Ohtani is a viablee candidate for … American League Comeback Player of the Year? Yes and no. After all, Ohtani last season did not throwhrow a sinsinglegle pitch due to injury. That changes in 2020. The famed two-way player who burst upon the big-leaguebig-league scene in 2018 from Japan to earn A.L. Rookie of the Yearar honors with the Halos is set to return to his unique dual role now thathat he is phphysicallyysically fit. Ohtani, who underwent successful Tommy Johnn surgersurgeryy in earlyearly October 2018, had been “limited” to hitting only everer since. Of course, most players with that type of injury do not produce a 2.5 WAR during that time. Of course, Ohtani is not most players. With Ohtani expected to pitch a full season, thee Angels plan to implement a six-man rotation again this season toto limitlimit Ohtani’sOhtani’s workload. In his 10 starts as an Angel in ‘18 he dazzled,led, compiling a 3.31 ERA and a 2.86 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Ohtani will be closely scrutinized this spring as his overall health is the top priority. Also this season a rule changege implemented by MLB affects Ohtani. The Angels acann send Ohtani on an actual rehab assignment as a pitcher,er, and then the very next day use him in a big league gamegame as a hitter if the team so chooses. However, the AAngelsngels must play shorthanded (with a 25-man roster) on the daysys Ohtani is out on assignment. Joe Maddon, in his first season as Angels manager, will be heavily involved in all-things-Ohtani. He sees Ohtani and a green light. “Don’t treat your guys like China dolls,” Maddon told reporters over the winter. “They’re not. He’s gone through some tough moments. He’s gone through his rehab, and now it’s time to be a baseball player. Sometimes we do go overboard, I think, with the protection of athletes and players and pitchers. “This guy is special.” 49
