Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington wants a rookie slugger to swing even more at the plate.
As the 2024 MLB season comes to an end, the Los Angeles Angels have brought up multiple players from their minor league teams. This includes Niko Kavadas, a first baseman who has shown promise with his powerful bat.
“I told him at the major league level, if you don’t get it off your shoulder," Washington said, "because these guys are around the plate a lot, you don’t know the umpires – so if you see something, you’ve got to get a swing at it.” “I was able to create a leverage count and get a really good heater from Bobby Miller on the inner half,” Kavadas said. “Yeah, it felt good to get the head out.”
