When the LA Angels drafted Jo Adell out of Ballard High School in Louisville, Kentucky they knew they had something special and he has shown a lot of promise since the 2017 draft. Adell had a strong 2018 season starting in Low Single-A Burlington and making it all the way to Double-A Mobile by season’s end.
This Spring the Angels invited Jo Adell to participate and he played well until he got hurt in the third week of the exhibition season. In 11 games Adell hit .391 with three RBIs with a .462 OBP. On March 9th while running to second base he pulled his left hamstring and then while trying to stop he rolled his ankle as well.
