The Los Angeles Angels top prospect is embarrassing Double-A hitters as he makes one last push for a September call-up. According to MLB Pipeline<\/em>, Caden Dana<\/a> is the Angels’ top prospect and No. 74 overall in the minor leagues. The 20-year-old continues to dominate Southern League hitters who average to be more than four years older than him. Yet, it hasn’t bothered Dana one bit. The Angels top prospect currently has a 9-7 record over 23 starts, with a sterling 2.52 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. He ranks at or near the top of every major pitching category in the Southern League.<\/p>\n

Wins: 9 (tied for second)
\nERA: 2.52 (2nd) — First place is 2.44 by someone with 32 1\/3 fewer innings pitched (Mason Adams<\/a>)
\nInnings: 135.2 (1st)
\nStrikeouts: 147 (1st)
\nWHIP: 0.94 (1st)
\nBatting Average Against: .184 (1st)<\/p>\n

Simply put, Dana has been phenomenal throughout the 2024 season. Yet, Dana was even better in August.<\/p>\n
