6 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels called up first baseman/relief pitcher Jared Walsh on Wednesday. Walsh will make his debut batting eighth against the Minnesota Twins. Walsh is the Angels 20th-ranked prospect currently, according to MLB Pipeline. The calling card for Walsh is his power, hitting 18 home runs and slugging .533 in 84 Triple-A games in Salt Lake. In addition to playing first base and coming out of the bullpen, Walsh has also spent some time in the outfield during his minor league career. The versatility could allow for consistent playing time for Walsh, particularly since the Angels demoted regular first baseman Justin Bour to Salt Lake City on Tuesday evening.--Walt Clark
