Los Angeles Angels Players STEPPED UP from 2001 to 2002; Who Will Step Up in 2024? Plus, Hitting, Pitching, and Team Philosophy

The Los Angeles Angels, then known as the Anaheim Angels, ended their 2001 season in rough shape. 75-87, a team OPS+ of 91, and 4 starters with an ERA of 4.36 and above. The next season, they won the World Series. So, who from the 2001 team stepped up to help carry the Halos to the promised land in 2002? Today on Locked On Angels, we'll look at which pitchers and hitters changed their fortunes from 01 to 02, and we'll discuss which players from last season MUST step up in 2024! Can Reid Detmers and Patrick Sandoval have breakout years like Ramon Ortiz and Jarrod Washburn? And, we'll get into the philosophy changes that the new coaching staff is bringing to 2024 and why we think it will help the likes of Jo Adell, Mickey Moniak, and the rest of the team! It's all happening, on today's show!
