The LA Angels didn’t call up Ward because he was on fire in the minors, or because they saw a significant jump in his development. The reason he is with the Halos rather than the Salt Lake Bees is because of Zack Cozart.
Going into the Angels’ game on Saturday in Chicago, the batting average of one Zack Cozart was .033. That’s right folks, Cozart’s batting average wasn’t even old enough to run for president. However, for the first time in forever, Saturday brought a change.
Cozart had not one, not two, but three hits!
