Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Homers again Sunday
Schanuel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against Houston in a loss Sunday.
Schanuel entered the weekend with no long balls through 13 games, but he now was two homers after going deep Saturday and Sunday. The first baseman also has a six-game hitting streak going, during which he's slashing .364/.440/.727 with a 3:3 BB:K. The hot streak has boosted Schanuel's OPS to .856 on the season; he posted a .705 OPS in his first full MLB campaign last year.

Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Smacks first homer in win
Schanuel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Astros.
Schanuel extended the Angels' lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning with a 383-foot shot off Ryan Gusto, his first homer of the season. Schanuel's been swinging the bat well to start the year, recording hits in all but two games. Overall, he's gone 15-for-53 (.283) with a .790 OPS, seven runs scored and six RBI through 59 plate appearances.

Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Worked to improve bat speed
Schanuel spent time this offseason on activities aimed at improving his bat speed, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Schanuel participated in drills that included swinging bats of different weights in an effort to develop more velocity in his swing. The first baseman ranked in the second percentile last season for bat speed, in the fourth percentile for hard-hit rate and in the seventh percentile for average exit velocity, all of which contributed to him hitting a modest 13 home runs with a .112 ISO over 606 plate appearances. Schanuel did exhibit some impressive metrics as a batter -- he ranked in the 96th percentile for whiff rate and in the 93rd percentile for squared-up rate -- so if he's successful in unleashing more power, his fantasy stock could get a significant bump.

Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Playing in spring opener
Schanuel (lower leg) is expected to be included in the Angels lineup for Saturday's Cactus League opener versus the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Schanuel missed the final four games of the 2024 season due to a bruised right lower leg, but the injury isn't believed to be anything that delayed his offseason workout program. The 23-year-old is projected to serve as the Angels' primary first baseman in 2025, but his lack of raw power renders him a low-end fantasy option at the position.
