Angels Select Hans Crouse

By Anthony Franco | June 21, 2024 at 6:03pm CDT

The Angels announced they’ve selected righty reliever Hans Crouse onto the MLB roster. Los Angeles opened an active roster spot last night by placing José Soriano on the 15-day injured list. They already had an opening on the 40-man roster, so no further move was necessary.

Crouse, who signed a minor league deal with the Halos in February, reaches the big leagues for the first time in three years. The 6’4″ hurler was a second-round pick of the Rangers back in 2017. Crouse was initially a well-regarded prospect whom the Rangers sent to the Phillies at the 2021 trade deadline. He started two games for the Phils late in the season, allowing four runs in seven innings.

That’s the entirety of his MLB experience. Crouse lost most of the following year to injury and the Phils waived him at the end of the ’22 campaign. He went unclaimed and spent last season in the minors. Philadelphia moved Crouse to the bullpen, but he didn’t find much immediate success. He surrendered a 6.75 ERA while walking more than 20% of opposing hitters over 16 Triple-A appearances.

Crouse has flipped the script with a huge performance this season. He carries a 2.70 earned run average through 23 1/3 frames with Triple-A Salt Lake. He has cut his walk rate all the way to 7.4% while striking out 44.7% of batters faced. No pitcher with at least 20 innings at the top minor league level has fanned opponents at a higher rate. That earns the 25-year-old another shot against MLB hitters. Crouse still has two options remaining and could bounce between Angel Stadium and Salt Lake without going on waivers.

    ok I will start it and get it out of the way before the other idiots…

    So does this mean they are trading Trout?
    Rendon doesn’t like baseball
    The Angels are doomed

    There it has been said. We do not need nor want to hear anymore from the Angel haters who just try and get things all stirred up.

      Might as well try some fresh faces, since everyone in the bullpen is on a one year deal or guys from scrap heap.

    It’s interesting they bring up a guy they signed to a minor league deal in the off season. Either they’re not confident in their young guys or they’re looking to see what they have so they can shop everyone by the trade deadline.

      @kellin the locked on angels guys were saying they anticipate something to happen because they moved alot of relievers to double a. I can only see moore, garcia , and estevez getting moved maybe the rest get dfa’d. Might as well see what you got since we will have a new bullpen next year.

        A (Dodgers fan) friend of mine turned me onto the locked on angels Bros. I’ve been listening to them for the last few weeks. They’re very level-headed and I understand their thinking about listening and trading some guys, not just bullpen pieces. I don’t like some of it, but I understand it.

    My question is why did they wait so long to put Soriano on the disabled list? They knew he would be out minimally for the minimum stay, so why did they play a man short for a few days?

    Really small sample size, but he has looked outstanding for the Bees. Not sure how it will help the Angels who are battling with the As for last place in the West.

      @out might as well start the auditions for next year early.the worse case scenario is we get a higher pick. When most of your pitchers have 5 era’s hard to imagine it being worse.

    @kellin yeah the only thing that bothers me is the intro, I agree with them might as well sell what you can mostly the expiring contracts and listen on ward and rengifo. I would be pumped if they can trade Anderson to the orioles for mayo and norby we can get a 3rd and second baseman to complete the infield because we know Rendon will be hurt next year as well
