Angels Select Matt Thaiss In 2016 MLB Draft

@Alden_Gonzalez

According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have drafted University of Virginia catcher Matt Thaiss in the first round of the 2016 MLB Draft.

DiGiovanna reported further news on the selection.

Thaiss won the 2015 college World Series with the club last season. This year he lead the team in batting average hitting .375.

Thaiss went to Twitter to show his excitement about being drafted.

Thaiss has shown good power throughout his collegiate career and is open to playing other positions. It would make sense for Thaiss to move over to the corners of the infield with the Angels taking a catcher in last year’s draft Taylor Ward.
