The 2021 season took quite a few turns that fans never saw coming. Still, despite the turbulence of season-ending injuries and seemingly random lineup changes, the season also afforded fans a few unexpected gems, including rookie reliever Andrew Wantz who made his MLB debut as an Angel years after signing with the organization in 2018.
Wantz’s 2021 show may have been limited to a quick 21 games, but despite the brevity of his season, the young reliever showed promise and potential that could be crucial to the team in the future, especially given his impressive drive and ambition toward perfecting his game, as best showcased by his journey through the minor league system.
