With Day 1 of the 2015 MLB Draft officially in the books, its time to take a look at what went down. Here were the Angels two selections from last night:
26th pick- Taylor Ward, C, Fresno State
The selection of Taylor Ward was a surprise to just about everyone following the Angels and even the MLB analysts. For the weeks leading up to the draft it was well documented that the Angels were looking for a polished college hitter, and more likely a shortstop or middle infielder. With most of the top 50 prospects being shortstops it was odd to see the Angels go for a catcher.
