Dana is the Angels top pitching prospect. He has a 2.52 ERA in 23 starts this season at Double-A.
Angels pitcher Caden Dana throws during a baseball spring training workout, Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024, in Tempe, Ariz. The Angels announced that they will promote top pitching prospect Caden Dana from Double-A to make his major league debut on Sunday. Samuel Aldegheri, one of the prospects the Angels received in the Carlos Estévez trade a month ago, is also coming up from Double-A. He’ll start on Friday.
Dana, 20, is the prime attraction. He’s the widely considered the Angels top prospect, and also one of the top 100 prospects in all of baseball. The Angels’ 11th-round pick in 2022, Dana will be the youngest pitcher to appear in a game for the Angels since Francisco Rodriguez in 2002, and the youngest to start a game since Frank Tanana in 1973.
“He earned it, so we’re going to give him the ball, and I’m looking forward to watching him pitch,” Washington said. “I saw him in spring training, but he has gained a lot more experience of pitching, and it’d be nice to see where it is.” “He’s incredible,” Kochanowicz said after pitching six scoreless innings in an Angels victory on Thursday. “He dominated down there. He’s been dominating the whole year, and he’s just got to come up here and trust himself, and do that same thing.”He has a 3.59 ERA at two levels of the minors, with the Phillies and Angels. He started four games at Double-A with the Angels since the trade, posting a 5.19 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 17-1/3 innings.
