Thaiss, moved from catcher after the Angels drafted him, began catching again last year; he caught a shutout in his first MLB start behind the plate Friday
TORONTO — Matt Thaiss reached a milestone in his development as a catcher Friday night.
Detmers said Thaiss did a particularly good job helping him make some adjustments after a tough first couple innings. Thaiss said all he did was adjust the way he set up to help Detmers get his pitches where he wanted them. He then bounced around a few positions, including second and third, before the Angels finally decided just after spring training in 2021 to move him back to catcher.
