The Angels have called up first baseman Nolan Schanuel, a player they drafted 11th overall in last month's MLB draft, after playing only 21 minor league games.
“If anybody can handle that situation, Nolan can handle it,” said Eric Beattie, who managed Schanuel in 2022 with the Hyannis Harbor Hawks of the Cape Cod League. “He’s a professional hitter. He’s got a professional eye for balls and strikes. And he’s got great hand eye coordination, he’s got the best speed to hit elite velocity. So if anybody can adjust well to that, I think Nolan will be able to handle it with the best of them.
Schanuel struggled in 2022 with the Harbor Hawks while unknowingly playing with an astigmatism in his right eye. But, his professional response to failure is what told Beattie he had the potential to be a good player in the long term.“I saw him stay with the process and his routines and stay in a good mindset, even as he was struggling as a player,” said Beattie. “And I think that, to me, stuck out most about his professionalism, that he didn’t panic when he struggled.
