Moustakas demonstrated his leadership by calling a team meeting less than a month into his time with the Angels, who acquired him from the Colorado Rockies in June.
ANAHEIM — The Angels had lost nine of 10 games before the All-Star break, so at their workout the day before they resumed play last week, infielder Mike Moustakas felt something needed to be done.“I wanted to get the boys together to tell them that we still have half a season left,” Moustakas left. “If you want to play in October, we’ve got to start winning some baseball games.”
“You can tell he has instant leadership qualities that we all value,” Nevin said. “He’s certainly somebody that’s won, been to a couple World Series. It’s invaluable to have in that room.” Moustakas has hit .241 with a .768 OPS in 15 games with the Angels, including four home runs. He’s played first and third base.
Thaiss is hitting .254 with a .754 OPS and six homers. He’s also made progress defensively. He was drafted as a catcher in 2016, but the Angels had him play other positions until he returned behind the plate in 2021.
