Jeremy Rhoades, rhp, Angels. Rhoades, the Angels’ No. 25 prospect entering the season, seems to be turning the corner on a rough season. He extended his scoreless run to 11 innings Saturday with seven shutout frames for high Class A Inland Empire, which fell to High Desert (Rangers) 2-1. The fourth-round pick from Illinois State has seen tremendous growth from a year ago when posted an 8.35 ERA and .310 opponents' batting average in the Cal League. Rhoades works mostly with a sinker/slider combination with a fastball from 89-92 mph and a slider in the 82-85 range.
