JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 Angels GM Perry Minasian among those checking out Miami's Sam Bachman vs. Ball State's Chayce McDermott outing today. So far Bachman (16 on BA Top 400 Draft Prospects) has gone 6.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 SO. McDermott (#198 and soon to climb) went 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 SO.

Trent Rush Retweeted Josh Caray @BigPoppaPanda For all the talk about Reid Detmers, don't forget about RHP Kyle Tyler. He's tossed 15.1 consecutive innings of scoreless ball over his last three outings. Allowed two hits over six frames in a 1-0 win over a good hitting Birmingham team @trashpandas @Angels

# 13 Harry Ford C, North Cobb (GA) AGE 18 BATS R DOB 02/21/2003 THROWS R HT 5' 10" WT 200 Scouting Grades/Report (20-80 grading scale) HIT 50 POWER 50 RUN 60 ARM 55 FIELD 55 OVERALL55 The state of Georgia has produced four first-round catchers in the last seven Drafts -- Max Pentecost, Tyler Stephenson, Anthony Seigler, Joey Bart -- and Ford has better all-around tools than any of them. The track record of high school catchers taken in the first round scares clubs, but Ford has the bat and athleticism to profile well at several other positions as well. One scout likened him to Craig Biggio for his ability to theoretically play catcher, second base or center field. Ford features some of the best bat speed in the high school class and has a track record of making loud contact against quality pitching, though he sometimes tries to do too much at the plate. He's also strong and has good leverage in his right-handed swing, so he has all of the ingredients to have average or better power. He's very fast for a catcher, clocking a 6.42-second time in the 60-yard dash at the East Coast Pro showcase. There's no doubt that Ford can remain behind the plate, though he still needs to polish up his footwork to get the most out of his solid to plus arm strength. Quick and agile, the Georgia Tech recruit has stood out as a receiver while handling premium stuff on the showcase circuit. Though he doesn't have a lot of experience at other positions, he has the athleticism, quickness and arm to play second base, third base or anywhere in the outfield. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/draft/harry-ford-695670

Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB I keep hearing that the @Angels could be the biggest wild card in the Top 10. I've heard Bubba Chandler there as a SS, also could be the high point for fellow Georgia prepster Harry Ford, who's crazy athletic for a C. #DraftTop200 Quote Tweet TAYLOR WARD FAN CLUB @CantHitWRISP · 1h Replying to @jimcallisMLB @CespedesBBQ and 2 others Any idea on the direction the Angels go with their pick? #DraftTop200

Jared Tims @Jared_Tims · #Angels have signed RHP Manuel de la Rosa out of the Dominican Republic @BenBadler had it first Replying to @Jared_Tims Manuel de la Rosa is 19 years old. Saw a report that had him 95-98 MPH(unconfirmed)

Angels MiLB @AngelsMiLB · Update on #Angels prospect Jordyn Adams, who left the game on Thursday, via Tri-City Dust Devils manager Andy Schatzley on the team’s pregame show: “Jordyn’s probably still a week to 10 days away. That may be a little bit optimistic. I don’t think it’s gonna be a month.”

Matt Thaiss is listed as catcher tonite for Salt Lake Steve Klauke @slbeesradio

Fabian Ardaya @FabianArdaya · 7m Reid Detmers sitting 92-94 and topping out at 95 mph is certainly a development. Quote Tweet Chris Blessing @C_Blessing · 7m Top out at 95. Sitting 92-94 on my gun. 4S has late tail up in zone. Garcia HR was on a platter. twitter.com/fabianardaya/s…

• Rule 5 reliever Jose Alberto Rivera pitched in a "B" game last week, but he has yet to appear in a Cactus League game. Maddon said it will be difficult for Rivera to make the club. https://www.mlb.com/angels/news/jose-quintana-building-confidence-in-spring

Fabian Ardaya Joe Maddon said Angels top pitching prospect Reid Detmers impressed in the ‘B’ game today in Maryvale. Jose Rivera, the club’s Rule 5 pick, also got into the game and showed some good sink at 91-92 mph on the back fields.

2021-22 international signing class, sorting the prospects in the class based on their expected signing bonus. 14 /media/h0ukq3os/nelson_rada_2021.png?preset=playerList Nelson Rada VenezuelaOF Notes: Born: Aug. 24, 2005. B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 168. If Rada had been born eight days later, he would be in the 2022-23 class instead, so he is one of the younger player in the upcoming 2021-22 class. Rada stood out playing for Venezuela at the U-15 World Cup Americas Qualifier in Sept. 2019 in Mexico. He was 5-foot-9 early on, but he's the son of a former professional basketball player in Venezuela and has grown a few inches leading up to his signing date. He's an instinctive player, especially in center field where he gets good reads off the bat with a quick first step and at least solid-average speed. Rada has a fairly short stroke from the left side with a good eye for the strike zone and mostly gap power that has trended up as he's gotten stronger. He trains with Felix Olivo, who also had Angels shortstop Arol Vera, and the Angels are expected to sign Rada as well. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2021-22-mlb-international-prospects-big-board/ LESS
