Over the weekend the Angels reportedly signed outfielder Scott Schebler to a minor league contract.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today first reported the deal, noting that Schebler would be paid $900,000 if in the majors. Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register confirmed the report.
Schebler is a left-handed hitter, but doesn’t have extreme splits in his career, hitting .231/.324/.440, a 99 wRC+ against right-handed pitchers, and .265/.297/.448, a 93 wRC+ against lefties. Hitting right-handers was a strength of the Angels offense in 2020, hitting .250/.340/.432, with a 114 wRC+ that ranked sixth in the majors.
