ANAHEIM, CALIF; — After having four picks on the first day of the MLB Draft, the Angels will complete their draft on Monday. Follow along for live updates on who they take this afternoon.

Fourth Round: Jake Munroe – 3B, Louisville

Per Thomas Murray: After taking four pitchers on Sunday, Jake Munroe was selected in the fourth round as the first position player on the Angels draft board.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Among best JUCO transfers from last spring going from Logan JC (IL) to Louisville where he was offensive staples for the Cardinals. He has some hitter tendencies and will show pull-side power that is physicality based. His power is more natural based but is projected to be around average where he could be a .250 hitter with 15 home runs at his peak upside. It’s a low-ceiling bet to see the upper minors with some bench vibes. Serviceable at best defender at third base who likely moves over to first base in the long run, putting more focus on the bat.

Fifth Round: CJ Gray, RHP, A.L. Brown HS (NC)

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Electric athlete and raw arm with immense upside. Two-sport stud who is solid quarterback recruit that has chance to play on gridiron at NC State if he doesn’t sign. Incredible arm speed gets power sinker into mid 90’s, up to 98, and keeps arm speed with changeup making it a raw above-average pitch. Slider in the bag with focus during development. Hard thrower with raw throwing/pitching traits which give him below-average control with big misses. Athleticism should aid to control issues and tap into upside. Extreme variance arm with big upside.

Sixth Round: Luke LaCourse, RHP, Bay City Western HI (MI)

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Spin it to win it prep arm. Slider has seen elite 3400-3500 rpm as plus breaking ball with big two-plane sweeping action. Fastball also shares high-spin traits with good carry though lacks velocity in upper 80’s and low 90’s touching 94 at peak. May be close to physically capped at 6’3/220, so fastball may not build more than trying to get to 92-94 consistently. Changeup in the bag that will need attention to round out arsenal. Works around the zone and is solid athlete (very good basketball player) with physicality to see long starter’s work load and tap into rotation upside, and fallback on slider in relief. Michigan State commit.

Seventh Round: Lucas Mahlstedt, RHP, Clemson

Per Thomas Murray: Regarded as coming off one of the best seasons by a reliever in Clemson history, Mahlstedt is a 6’3″ sidearm pitcher who had 15 saves last season while pitching with a 3.00 ERA, 1.167 WHIP and 61 strikeouts. He finished last season as a NCBWA Stopper-of-the-Year Award finalist, a Dick Howser semifinalist and a National Pitcher-of-the-Year Award semifinalist.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Sidearm reliever among best college relievers/closers in D1. Lives off deception from hip-level slot where he utilizes upper 70’s slider almost excusively. Will play with changeup in same velocity bucket as slider to play with upper 80’s sinker to setup slider. Prototypical sidearm reliever who has high-floor as upper level arm who could sneak big league time if one of trio of pitches grows to plus and command allows deception to create outs.

Eighth Round: Isaiah Jackson, Outfielder, Arizona State

Per Thomas Murray: Isaiah Jackson is a 6’3″ 220 220-pound left-handed hitter from Arizona State who had 18 home runs last season with 68 RBIs. Jackson was originally drafted out of high school by the Houston Astros but chose to go to college instead. Having over 50 strikeouts in his first two seasons at Arizona State, he cut that number down to 53 last season. In his first two years at ASU, he had 18 walks in his first two seasons. Jackson’s patience at the plate improved last season when he drew 28 walks. His sophomore season at ASU ended with him being named to the PAC-12’s All-Defensive Team for the second straight season. His defense continued to be brilliant in right field last year when he had zero errors out in right with three assists.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Known in prospect circles since high school as good athlete with power upside. Overhauled approach this spring to cut down alarming swing-and-miss and chase that allowed him to tap into plus raw power with more frequency. A good athlete who can man center field long term, there is some strong side platoon upside with the left-handed power. Big league tools at minimum to work with.

Ninth Round: Slate Alford, 3B, Georgia

Per Thomas Murray: Slate Alford is a 6’3″ 212 212-pound third baseman born in Huntsville, Alabama, and played his last two seasons at Georgia after transferring over from Mississippi State. During his time at Georgia, he hit .300 twice with double-digit home runs, having a career high 19 last season with 63 RBIs and 37 extra base hits, a .649 slugging percentage, and a 1.089 OPS. An ironman on the field, Alford started all 60 games for Georgia during his two years with the Bulldogs. He was named a first-team All-SEC selection last year for the first time in his career.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Productive senior corner infielder. Lost notable weight over winter going from 240 pounds to 210 pounds, cutting out some excess proteins and calories. Still very physical, he possesses plus raw power from the right side aided by his strength and solid bat speed. How much he gets to it dictates how he’ll fare in pro ball. Improved at third base and should be able to stay at position in pro ball. Limited ceiling but power could take him to big league role at peak.

Round 10: Nick Rodriguez, 2B, Missouri State 2025 MVC Player of the year

Per Thomas Murray: Nick Rodriguez is a 5’10” 185-pound left-handed hitter middle infielder from Missouri State University and is the reigning MVC player of the year as well as a ABCA First Team All-American. Last season, he batted .368 with 18 homers, 22 doubles, 56 RBIs, and had a slugging percentage of .702. Rodriguez had a .976 fielding percentage last season and committed 6 errors at second. The glove hasn’t always been his biggest strength the but after committing 15 errors in 2023, the numbers have gone down every season since.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Four-year performing senior. Can hit a bit with some sneaky pop and bat speed. It’s a cheap option to fill the organization with mid-major performance to go along with a small sample size wood bat track record. Second base defender who may pinch other infield positions.

Round 11: Alton Davis ll, LHP, Georgia

 Per Thomas Murray: Alton Davis ll is a left-handed pitcher from Georgia who appeared in 24 innings for the Bulldogs last year as a reliever. It’s likely Davis ll will continue on as a reliever for the Angels after starting in just one game during his Georgia. Before transferring over to Georgia, he played two seasons at Alabama. Last year, he had 27 strikeouts with an 8.14 ERA. In his collegiate career, his ERA has never dropped below 5.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Tall, thin, wiry and funky college southpaw reliever. Two-pitch mix blends low/mid 90’s fastball that has touched 97-99 in short stints with mid 80’s sweeper. There’s looseness in the delivery aiding to projecting better command though it sits firmly fringe at current. This seems like a relief only profile that might get a taste of starter development to the mid-minors.

Round 12: Talon Haley, LHP, Lewisburgh High School, Olive Branch, Mississippi

Per Thomas Murray: Talon Bailey is currently committed to Vanderbilt but is considered one of the more talented left-handed prep pitchers in the draft, standing at 6’2,” 200 pounds with a fastball that reached 91-94 MPH and reached a high of 97 in his senior year. He also has a curveball in the lower 80s, a slider, and a low 80s changeup. In the 2025 recruiting class, Perfect Game has him ranked at No. 82. MLB Pipeline has him ranked at No. 91.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: You’d be hard-pressed to find a better story than Talon Haley in this draft class, or any other. He had Tommy John surgery before his freshman high school season, where he learned to throw right-handed just to continue baseball activites. At the end of his recovery, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and continued to play baseball while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. In December of 2022, he was declared cancer-free. To cap it all, he tore his left UCL which kept him out of his junior season.Aside from the wild life this young man has already been through before turning 19-years-old, he is among the most talented prep arms in the nation. He’ll work in the low-to-mid 90’s with his fastball that plays up due to the carry he creates. His curveball is a plus offering that will get swing-and-misses. His changeup is fairly advanced for a prep arm, while his slider is another average at worst offering to fill out a four-pitch arsenal. He can fill the zone with all four pitches though will have to improve his command to reach his mid-rotation ceiling.

Round 13: Robert Xavier Mitchell, LHP, Prestonwood Christian Academy, TX

Per Thomas Murray: Standing at 6’3″ and weighing 165 pounds, Robert Xavier Mitchell is a lanky kid who was a starting pitcher and outfielder but will likely turn into a pitcher for his development. Ranked 57th overall and 6th among LHPs nationally in this year’s draft, Mitchell is currently committed to Texas. He has a fastball that goes up to 94 MPH with a low-80s 12-6 curveball.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Athletic prep southpaw with fill-out projection. Sits low 90’s with fastball that plays up from deceptive arm slot. Feel to spin and kill spin with both curveball and changeup, with the curveball being the swing-and-miss weapon. Repeatable mechanics and strong athlete with thin frame to fill out and add strength and bite to arsenal. Fought some shoulder wear late in spring. Clear rotation upside. Texas commit.

Round 14: TJ Ford, Outfielder, Trinity Christian HS, Sharpsburg Georgia

Per Thomas Murray: TJ Ford is a 5’10”, 157 pound outfielder from Trinity Christian in Sharpsburg Georgia. According to his Max Preps info, he is a career .376 average hitter in high school with a .528 on-base percentage. Last season, he had 8 home runs with 4 doubles and 5 triples in 123 plate appearences. Good speed on the basepaths after he stole 30 bases in his senior year of of high school. 60 yard dash time is 6.08 seconds and he should develop more size as he gets older.

Round 15: Mikey Cascino, RHP, A3 Academy, Seffner FL

Per Thomas Murray: Mikey Cascino is a University of South Florida comitt and is ranked 35th best player and 6th RHP in the state of Florida. Cascino has plenty of size at 18 year’s old standing at 6’2″ and weighing 185 pounds. He has a fastball that reached 95 MPH and averages in the low 90’s with a 3/4 arm slot. He finished last season throwing 48 innings with 93 strikeouts, 18 walks and 11 earned runs.

Round 16: Gage Harrelson, Outfielder, Florida State

Per Thomas Murray: Gage Harrelson is a 6’3″ 177 177-pound outfielder who played at both Florida State and at Texas Tech. Swinging the bat left handed, Harrelson had a .339 batting average with 10 doubles, 2 triples and 5 home runs. Harrelson had a 35 walks last season with 61 strikeouts at the plate. Following his junior season, he was selected as a Third Team All-ACC and was ranked as the No. 27 outfielder per D1Baseball.

Per Taylor Blake Ward: Banking on some contact/speed tools. More hit-over-power with feel for the barrel. Fringy power with some swing-and-miss that needs attention in development. Plus runner who covers plenty of ground in the outfield and can steal a base. Tools to see some fifth outfield prototype aided by his left-handed swinging.
