While he’s no Shohei Ohtani, Walsh offers the LA Angels a diverse set of skills that could be a huge advantage for the team. He is not the same two-way player as Ohtani, as Walsh is primarily a first baseman/corner outfielder who can also pitch in relief. If he can perform to the best of his abilities, Walsh could be the ultimate chess piece for the Angels.
However, does Jared Walsh even deserve a roster spot in 2020?
Last year, Walsh pitched five innings of low-leverage relief. He performed well enough on the mound, allowing only one run.
