Nolan Schanuel Batting Leadoff In Debut
1 year agoLos Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel is set to make his MLB debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. The Angels selected Schanuel with the 11th overall pick during this year's draft. The 21-year-old will bat leadoff and cover first base versus right-hander Erasmo Ramirez on Friday. The expectation is that Schanuel will get plenty of at-bats this week with C.J. Cron (back) landing on the injured list. Schanuel slashed .370/.510/.493 through 96 plate appearances in the minors. Schanuel becomes the fastest player to reach the MLB considering he was only drafted less than six weeks ago.
