But first, five high school bats who are catching scouting directors' attention. Why Steele Hall, Daniel Pierce, Tim Piasentin, Blaine Bullard and Jordan Yost are the talk of the town in front offices.
----------
McIlvaine joins the show
-- Growing up in the industry
-- The Angels draft strategy. Is the team purposefully targetting guys who can help the big league club immediately?
-- What is the Angels' actual draft philosophy?
-- Are other big league organizations WASTING prospects' best years in the minor leagues?
-- What the heck happened with the Ryan Prager pick? Why didn't he sign? Were they warned before the Draft? Regrets? NIL making life more difficult?
-- The Angels' pitching development is improving fast. Time to get excited about Chris Cortez, Barrett Kent, Trey Gregory-Alford, Ryan Johnson and more?
-- Sleepers inside the Angels farm expected to blossom in 2025.
-- Will we see Christian Moore on Opening Day?
-- The No. 2 pick in the 2025 Draft. Who are the Angels targeting? Will it be another fast-moving college performer or is high school in the cards? Ethan Holliday?
