Jo Adell wanted to know what went wrong.
After striking out a couple of times in a triple-A game against the Tacoma Rainiers this week, the Angels’ top prospect went back to review the film of his two at-bats, embarking on a self-evaluation process that has become an almost daily routine as he awaits — and readies himself — for a much-anticipated return to the big leagues.
One of the strikeouts, Adell could live with. It was against a reliever who got ahead with an upper-90s-mph fastball and then executed a perfect wipeout slider, an almost unhittable pitch that not even Adell, who entered Thursday leading minor league baseball in home runs, could do damage against.
