18 Brian Goodwin LF

Goodwin hit .185/.290/.296 with three doubles and a 4:12 BB:K over 31 plate appearances before spring training was suspended.

Goodwin started well this spring but tailed off with only two hits over his final 17 at-bats. Contact was a particular issue as the 29-year-old whiffed in nearly half his Cactus League at-bats after posting a troubling 28.2 strikeout rate last season. Goodwin remains in line to see a healthy dose of starts early in the 2020 campaign, but he's likely to lose significant playing time whenever top prospect Jo Adell is called up to the big leagues.

Goodwin has gone 3-for-10 with two doubles, three walks, three RBI and two runs through his first five Cactus League games.

Goodwin was an unsung hero for the Angels in 2019, churning out a .262/.326/.470 slash line (109 wRC+) in 458 plate appearances while proving to be a capable replacement option in the outfield while Justin Upton missed extensive time due to injury. With Kole Calhoun leaving for Arizona over the winter, Goodwin looks poised to open the season in the large side of a platoon in the corner outfield, though he'll be a prime candidate to lose out on work whenever the Angels determine top prospect Jo Adell is ready for a full-time role in the big leagues.

Goodwin will earn $2.2 million this season after winning his arbitration case Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The Angels had filed at $1.85 million. Goodwin looks set to open the season with a significant role in an outfield corner after hitting .262/.326/.470 with 17 homers last season, though Jo Adell looms to potentially reduce him to a bench role early in the year.
