ANAHEIM -- The Angels had a recent infusion of talent into their Minor League system, as they benefited from having the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 Draft and were also sellers at the Trade Deadline.

Their first-round pick, second baseman Christian Moore, is off to an unbelievable start to his professional career, as he¡¯s already dominating Double-A Rocket City and could be called up to the Majors this season, much like Nolan Schanuel last year. He¡¯s already the club¡¯s No. 2 prospect and the No. 81 overall prospect, according to the in-season re-rank MLB Pipeline released this week. The Angels also had five players acquired in trades and four other Draft picks join their Top 30 prospects list.

Hard-throwing right-hander George Klassen, ranked No. 3, and lefty Samuel Aldegheri, ranked No. 8, were both acquired in the trade that sent closer Carlos Est¨¦vez to the Phillies on July 27. And outfielder Matthew Lugo (No. 12) and first baseman Niko Kavadas (No. 30) were acquired in the move that sent reliever Luis Garc¨ªa to the Red Sox on July 30.

Right-hander Caden Dana remains the club¡¯s No. 1 prospect and is also ranked No. 75 overall. He¡¯s having a tremendous season with Rocket City at just 20 years old and could be called up late in the year. Dana and Moore are the organization¡¯s only two players ranked among MLB Pipeline¡¯s Top 100 prospects.

Here¡¯s a look at the Angels¡¯ top prospects:

1. Caden Dana, RHP (No. 75 overall)
2. Christian Moore, 2B (No. 81 overall)
3. George Klassen, RHP
4. Nelson Rada, CF
5. Ryan Johnson, RHP

Biggest jump/fall

Here are the players whose ranks changed the most from the preseason list:

Jump: Juan Flores, C (Preseason: No. 22 | Midseason: No. 17)
Flores impressed the coaching staff during Spring Training and he fared so well at Single-A Inland Empire that he was promoted to High-A Tri-City in mid-June despite being just 18 years old. He¡¯s struggled a bit since moving up in the system but is four and half years younger than his average competition. He¡¯s yet to face a pitcher younger than him this year.

Fall: Jadiel Sanchez, OF (Preseason: No. 14 | Midseason: unranked)
Sanchez, acquired in the trade that sent Noah Syndergaard to the Phillies at the 2022 Trade Deadline, has struggled mightily at the plate this year at Tri-City. And unlike other Angels prospects, he's not facing older competition, as he's 23 and is a half a year older than the average player at his level.
