2024 Fantasy Outlook
No team is more likely to rush a prospect to the majors than the Angels and no prospect in last year's draft class had a more impressive command of the strike zone than Schanuel, so in that sense it was a perfect match when they selected him with the 11th overall pick. He played in more games in the majors (29) than in the minors (22) after getting drafted while also missing short stints with minor ailments (illness, shoulder, knee). There's little doubt the Angels will give Schanuel everyday playing time going forward and his swing decisions and contact skill are advanced enough that he'll get on base at a high clip, especially compared to most rookies. The big philosophical question is whether or not he's a worthwhile investment in dynasty or redraft leagues when his projected power output is so minimal relative to other first basemen. He had a max exit velocity of 103.5 mph, a 2.2 Barrel% and a 49.4 percent groundball rate. Schanuel doesn't hit the ball hard enough or in the air with enough regularity to project for more than 15 home runs, even with everyday playing time. His appeal lessens further when considering how bad the Angels lineup might be over the next few years. Read Past Outlooks

Accounts for lone run in loss
Schanuel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Schanuel got the Angels on the board with a seventh-inning solo shot off Houston reliever Rafael Montero. This was Schanuel's second homer in his last three games, though those long balls are his only hits over his last 30 at-bats. The first baseman is slashing .213/.284/.337 with seven homers, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored and no stolen base through 227 plate appearances this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Scoring change ends streak
Schanuel's on-base streak retroactively ended at 30 games after his single March 30 against Baltimore was changed to an error, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was pushing for the longest on-base streak to begin a career this weekend against the Red Sox, but the late scoring change took away that opportunity. Schanuel has now reached base in seven of eight games this season with eight walks in 32 plate appearances, but he otherwise hasn't provided much offensively, having gone 2-for-22.
