Because of this the LA Angels were able to land both Livan Soto and Kevin Maitan, both highly praised international prospects. Both of these athletes were seen as major steps forward for the Angels organization, both in the sense of the Angels expanding their scouting philosophies and immediately upgrading their (then) poor farm system.
What makes Livan Soto so valuable as a prospect is his incredibly mature approach to the game at the young age of 18. Plate approach is always something you need to teach before you can really jump on the other factors of a young athletes game.
