Injuries have plagued the team in recent years, but the team is starting to get healthy and one key player who could provide a lift is J.C. Ramirez. Ramirez came to the Angels in 2016 after he was claimed off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds.
That season Ramirez pitched out of the bullpen and was stellar going 2-1 with a 2.91 ERA and one save. He had a 1.19 WHIP in 43 appearances striking out 31 batters in 46 innings with only 13 walks.
In 2017 the Angels decided that Ramirez could be a starter and he did very well starting 24 games for the Angels and going 11-10 with a 4.
