Rengifo, 25, has been up and down between the majors and Triple-A for four seasons, but he’s gotten off to a good start offensively in his current stint.
ANAHEIM — Joe Maddon conceded that Luis Rengifo stands apart from the other players the Angels have tried in the middle infield this season.“Anybody that came up and scouted for the first time would look up the middle and say who’s that,” Maddon said of Rengifo. “Plus, he’s a switch hitter. He’s got a fine arm, runs well. There’s nothing to not like about the way he plays. It’s just that his game has been a little bit sporadic.
During his current stint, which began earlier this month, he posted a .732 OPS, to go with a .304 batting average and a .385 on-base percentage in his first nine games. That’s well above average in this year of suppressed offense.“I think he looks better, I think his game’s matured a bit,” Maddon said. “That’s the best way to describe it.”
“I know we had that little miscommunication on the ground ball the other day but overall, I think there’s a higher level of maturity to his game,” Maddon said. “It’s slowed down a little bit. It’s not as quick. Some really good at-bats. Good at-bats and good moments.” “He’s a great listener,” Maddon said of Rengifo. “He accepts constructive criticism well. He doesn’t wince and cry. He doesn’t do that stuff. He keeps battling through it. Eventually, he’s going to become a really good, possibly everyday, second baseman.”Catcher Max Stassi, who had been on the COVID-related injured list, on Saturday will play the first of at least two rehab games at Class-A Inland Empire.
