LA Angels Nolan Fontana has never broken out of the minor leagues. Fontana was drafted by the Astros in 2012 and had been in their farm system until the Angels claimed him off waivers this past off-season. Fontana started this season with the Angels triple-a affiliate the Salt Lake Bees.
This move wasn’t exactly shocking. Just a few days ago I had written about someone from the Bees taking Danny Espinosa’s spot at second base. I had the assumption it would be Kaleb Cowart. In the same post though I mentioned about how Fontana had hit a walk-off inside the park home run.
