The rookie could be here to stay.
“There’s still common young mental errors that happen in different facets of the game,” manager Brad Ausmus said.
As he ascended from Class A to triple-A last summer on the strength of his bat, Rengifo played about 80% of his games at shortstop. But the Angels recognized that Rengifo’s arrival at the major league level might be blocked at shortstop by Simmons, who is signed through 2020. So they increased Rengifo’s playing time on the other side of the diamond.
“When he was getting there late, he was just kind of cutting across the bag and trying to flip [balls] over there with his arm, which he had a strong arm so he was making up for it,” Gallego said. “But now that he’s getting there on time, he’s using his whole body.”
