2024 Fantasy 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 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. Read Past Outlooks

Back in action Tuesday
Schanuel (back) is starting at first base and batting third Tuesday against the Tigers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old sat out the past two games due to a back issue, but he'll rejoin the starting nine following Monday's team off day. Schanuel has a .250/.360/.342 slash line with one homer and a 12:15 BB:K through 20 games in August.

Scoring change ends streak
Schanuel's on-base streak retroactively ended at 30 games after his single March 30 against Baltimore was changed to an error, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was pushing for the longest on-base streak to begin a career this weekend against the Red Sox, but the late scoring change took away that opportunity. Schanuel has now reached base in seven of eight games this season with eight walks in 32 plate appearances, but he otherwise hasn't provided much offensively, having gone 2-for-22.
