Player Outlook
No team is more likely to rush a prospect to the majors than the Angels and no prospect in last year's draft class had a more impressive command of the strike zone than Nolan Schanuel, so in that sense it was a perfect match when they selected him with the 11th overall pick. He played in more games in the majors (29) than in the minors (22) after getting drafted while also missing short stints with minor ailments (illness, shoulder, knee). There's little doubt the Angels will give Schanuel everyday playing time going forward and his swing decisions and contact skill are advanced enough that he'll get on base at a high clip, especially compared to most rookies. The big philosophical question is whether or not he's a worthwhile investment in dynasty or redraft leagues when his projected power output is so minimal relative to other first basemen. He had a max exit velocity of 103.5 mph, a 2.2 Barrel% and a 49.4 percent groundball rate. Schanuel doesn't hit the ball hard enough or in the air with enough regularity to project for more than 15 home runs, even with everyday playing time. His appeal lessens further when considering how bad the Angels lineup might be over the next few years.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Blasts 10th homer

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics. Schanuel is 8-for-23 (.348) with two homers over eight games since the All-Star break. The Angels have started to hit him lower in the lineup -- he's batted fifth or lower in three of the last four games after routinely having the first baseman in the top third of the order earlier in the season. He's at a middling .246/.333/.367 slash line with 10 homers, 36 RBI, 37 runs scored, 11 doubles and four stolen bases over 96 contests.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Back in lineup Monday

    Rotowire
    Schanuel (calf) is starting at first base and batting second in Monday's series opener against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Schanuel began Sunday's game in the dugout after exiting early Saturday due to left calf tightness. However, the lefty-hitting first baseman was able to pinch hit Sunday, going 2-for-2 with an RBI single in an 8-5 win over Oakland. Schanuel will face off against Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller on Monday.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Reaches base three times Friday

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's extra-inning win against Seattle. Schanuel notched an RBI single in the fourth inning and walked twice to extend his modest on-base streak to five games. He's gone 4-for-14 with two doubles, two RBI and two steals while drawing six free passes during that stretch. Schanuel has been performing well offensively since late June -- over his past 17 games, he's slashing .323/.419/.387 with four doubles, seven RBI, seven runs and three thefts while posting a 9:9 K:BB.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Swipes third bag in loss

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers. Schanuel was a significant contributor on the night, earning his seventh multi-hit effort over his last 14 games. In that span, he's also collected two of his three stolen bases on the year. The first baseman had been batting leadoff regularly, but he's been second in the order for both games since Anthony Rendon returned from a torn hamstring. Schanuel is at a .240/.317/.353 slash line with eight home runs, 10 doubles, 31 RBI and 32 runs scored over 83 contests this season. He could get more RBI chances out of the No. 2 spot, but the Angels' overall lackluster offense is likely to keep his production in the counting stats down.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Plates four in loss

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 2-for-4 with a double, four RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Athletics. Schanuel has hit safely in seven straight games, logging multiple hits in five of them. He's also scored a run in five consecutive contests, though he'd produced just one RBI over his previous 10 games before powering the Angels' offense Tuesday. The first baseman is up to a .239/.311/.355 slash line with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, eight doubles and two stolen bases over 76 contests this season, mainly playing out of the leadoff spot.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Two hits, stolen base in win

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Detroit. Schanuel recorded singles in two of his first three at-bats, driving home Zach Neto on the latter before also swiping his second bag of the campaign. The first baseman has now hit safely in three straight contests, while Thursday's performance marked his fifth multi-hit performance this month. However, he's still batting just .237 in June with three homers, eight RBI and nine runs scored.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Posts three-hit effort in win

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 3-for-5 with a double and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks. Schanuel went just 5-for-52 (.096) over 15 games since his last multi-hit effort. The first baseman is up to a .216/.282/.338 slash line with seven home runs, 22 RBI, 20 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 59 contests. His batting average hasn't been higher than .250 all year, but his iffy contact and lack of speed have yet to cost him the opportunity to regularly bat leadoff. However, Michael Stefanic got a look atop the order in the previous two games before sitting out Wednesday. While Schanuel's spot in the lineup isn't in question, he could drop the down order soon if he goes back to struggling at the plate.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Accounts for lone run in loss

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Astros. Schanuel got the Angels on the board with a seventh-inning solo shot off Houston reliever Rafael Montero. This was Schanuel's second homer in his last three games, though those long balls are his only hits over his last 30 at-bats. The first baseman is slashing .213/.284/.337 with seven homers, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored and no stolen base through 227 plate appearances this season.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Absence continuing Sunday

    Rotowire
    Schanuel (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners. It's the third straight absence for Schanuel as he manages soreness in his left thumb. Willie Calhoun will receive another start at first base for the Halos.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Goes yard in win

    Rotowire
    Schanuel went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-7 win over the Astros. Schanuel's three-run blast in the fifth inning sparked a big rally from the Angels. Entering Monday, the first baseman had gone 0-for-11 over his last three games. He's up to five homers, 18 RBI, 15 runs scored, three doubles and a .232/.306/.351 slash line through 172 plate appearances this season. Schanuel is not being strictly platooned, but he's not an everyday player at first base, though he is seeing a majority of the reps there.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Out against lefty

    Rotowire
    Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. With lefty Martin Perez on the bump for Pittsburgh, the lefty-hitting Schanuel will exit the starting nine for the series finale. Brandon Drury will slide over from his usual spot at the keystone and man first base in Schanuel's stead.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Back on bench Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Schanuel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Tampa Bay. Schanuel returned to the lineup Monday after missing a game with a testicular contusion, but he'll now head back to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Miguel Sano will occupy first base and bat cleanup for the Angels. Schanuel went 0-for-5 Monday and is now just 4-for-42 on the season.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Returns to lineup

    Rotowire
    Schanuel (groin) will start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's game in Tampa Bay. Schanuel exited Saturday's game and didn't play Sunday because of a testicular contusion, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The rookie first baseman is sporting a woeful .108/.292/.189 batting line through his first 12 contests this season.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Absent from lineup again

    Rotowire
    Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Schanuel has now sat out two of the last three games, and both times he's been on the bench, the Angels have faced right-handed starting pitchers. The 22-year-old probably isn't in danger of being demoted to Triple-A Salt Lake just yet, but his 2-for-31 start at the plate is beginning to cost him playing time. Brandon Drury will cover first base in Schanuel's stead.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Sitting against right-hander

    Rotowire
    Schanuel is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays. It marks the first time this season Schanuel hasn't been in the lineup versus a right-hander and just the second time overall. Brandon Drury is handling first base, with Luis Rengifo covering second.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Sits against lefty

    Rotowire
    Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. With southpaw A.J. Puk on the bump for Miami, the lefty-hitting Schanuel will head to the bench in the series finale. Miguel Sano will fill in at first base for Schanuel, who had started in each of the Halos' first five games while reaching base at a .400 clip and hitting a home run.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: In lineup Saturday

    Rotowire
    Schanuel (back) is starting in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Schanuel has been out of action since Monday due to back tightness, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. Schanuel is 10-for-41 this spring with a homer and four RBI, and he should be ready to start at first base on Opening Day now that his back issues are seemingly behind him.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Could return Saturday

    Rotowire
    Schanuel (back) could play in Saturday's Cactus League game against the A's, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Schanuel was a late scratch Monday due to back tightness but is closing in on his return to game action. The 22-year-old should be ready for Opening Day as long as he can return to the field within the next handful of days.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Dealing with back tightness

    Rotowire
    Schanuel was scratched from the Angels' Cactus League lineup Monday against the Brewers because of back tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Schanuel had been slated to play first base against the Brewers but will be replaced by Miguel Sano. Consider the 22-year-old day-to-day for the time being.

  • Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Returns to lineup Friday

    Rotowire
    Schanuel (knee) is back in the lineup Friday against the Athletics. Schanuel will start at first base and bat leadoff versus left-hander Ken Waldichuk after missing two straight games because of knee tightness. The 21-year-old has slashed .284/.407/.343 since being promoted to the majors in mid-August, reaching base in all 27 games that he's appeared in so far.
