Five Innings. Zero Runs. The Velocity Is Holding.
In 2022, Alek Manoah won 16 games, posted a 2.24 ERA, finished second in AL Cy Young voting, and looked like one of the best pitchers in baseball. He is 27 years old. The Angels signed him for $1.95M. If there is any version of that pitcher left in that body, this is one of the most important stories in the entire organization.
Through the first two-plus weeks of camp, he has been the best story out of Tempe. Five scoreless innings across multiple outings. Fastball sitting 93-94 mph, holding as the workload builds — that last part matters more than the opening number. Any pitcher can sit 93 once in February. The question is whether it is still 93 in late March when the arm is tired and the hitters are better. So far, it is.
The risk is zero for the Angels — $1.95M on a one-year deal for a pitcher who hasn't been healthy in two years is a flier, not a commitment. The upside is enormous. The 2022 Manoah is a legitimate number two or three starter on a playoff team. Five spring innings of this is not proof. But it is better evidence than anyone had a right to expect.
He still has to prove it over 25 starts in the regular season. He still has to show the command is real when the lineup has seen him twice and is adjusting. But the working assumption heading into April has shifted — this is no longer a reclamation story, it is a rotation piece. Act accordingly.
