Angels Farm System Ranked by Baseball America

Baseball America released its updated Top 30 prospects list for the Angels, highlighting the system's tremendous upside. Newly acquired prospects Nimmala, Cozart, and Ballesteros are among the top names. The farm system jumped from 29th to 18th, providing external validation for the rebuild direction. The catching pipeline is particularly boosted by Cozart's recent hot streak and the emergence of 20-year-old Flores with elite defensive grades.
