When the LA Angels named Kole Calhoun as their every day starter in 2014 they were expecting big things from the Arizona State alum as he had shown great promise toward the of the 2013 season.
Calhoun suffered a wrist injury early in 2014 so his rookie year was not as strong as he or the Angels had hoped, but it was still solid. In 2015 Calhoun came on strong and set career-highs in home runs with 26 and RBIs with 83, despite seeing his batting average dip to .256 and he also struck out 164 times. Calhoun also took home his first career Gold Glove in right field as well.
