Newly promoted Angels pitcher Hans Crouse, a 25-year-old product of Dana Hills High, was once a top prospect with a 102 mph fastball, but two injuries have kept him out of the majors since 2021. LOS ANGELES — Hans Crouse returned to the major leagues for the first time in three years, and this time it meant even more to him.
Crouse, who dealt with a biceps tendon tear in 2022 and thoracic outlet syndrome in 2023, said getting past those injuries has given him a new perspective on being in the big leagues.“I just had some things I didn’t like about myself as a person the past few years,” Crouse said. “I felt like, and it sounds weird, I felt like the game almost owed me something. And this game does not owe you a damn thing. And I just put my head down and I went to work.
The Angels called him up to take the roster spot of right-hander José Soriano, who is on the injured list with an abdominal infection.
