In his second major league season, Zach Neto has established himself as a vital part of the Angels' future through his play at shortstop and at the plate.
Zach Neto has four tattoos on his left arm. The one that really catches your eye is the collage toward the bottom of the arm, with a lion roaring atop its kingdom. “This,” Neto said, pointing to the tattoo, “is just my journey.” The Angels’ shortstop is a son of Miami, so the lion overlooks Miami Beach. The date of his major league debut is part of the tattoo, as is the Major League Baseball logo. “For me finally making it,” he said. The camel represents his college mascot.
“He reminds me of Dansby in the way he controls things out there.” Mark Gubicza, the Angels’ broadcaster and 14-year major league pitcher, said Neto’s instincts and anticipation reminded him of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. Anderson compared Neto favorably to Trevor Story, his former teammate with the Colorado Rockies, who batted .239 and struck out 191 times in his second season.
