Just missed Top 30: William English
The Angels went above slot to sign English for $700,000 in the fifth round of last June’s Draft. He only hit over the summer, but they’re going to give the athletic right-hander and outfielder the chance to play both ways. He’s projectable on the mound with plenty of arm strength, and he can really run and has some raw power to grow into at the plate.

Impact prospect: Griffin Canning
Canning and his advanced feel for pitching allowed him to skyrocket to Triple-A in his first full season of pro ball. He did scuffle a bit at that level last year, but he should easily made the necessary adjustments. With four above-average to plus pitches and above-average command, he’ll be knocking loudly on the door soon enough.

Breakout prospect: D’Shawn Knowles
One of two big signings out of the Bahamas by the Angels in July 2017, Knowles got $850,000 to sign, then hit his way across two levels of Rookie ball during his pro debut last year. He has the chance to be a plus hitter from both sides of the plate, with solid tools across the board. After an .855 OPS in his debut, the now 18-year-old could hit the ground running in full-season ball.

Best defensive prospect: Jordyn Adams
The Angels signed Adams away from playing football and baseball at North Carolina, and he immediately put his tools on display during his pro debut and during instructs. He's still raw, but the Angels feel he has elite range and the highest ceiling as a defender in the organization.
