SUPERSTAR: Why the Angels Need Zach Neto to BREAK OUT Into Baseball’s Next Superstar Shortstop

Zach Neto continues to fly under the radar despite back-to-back stellar seasons for the Los Angeles Angels, but what will it take for him to become a true MLB superstar? Hosts Mike and Jon Frisch analyze Neto’s strengths, from defensive brilliance to 30-homer power, and debate what improvements, such as plate discipline and range, could elevate his game to the next level. They also question whether team success or a bigger spotlight is crucial for Neto’s ascension and longevity in Anaheim. The conversation shifts to Baseball America's latest Angels prospect rankings and a bold 2029 lineup projection, featuring names like Christian Moore, Nelson Rada, and Denzer Guzman. The Frisch brothers weigh in on roster depth, future pitching standouts like Tyler Bremner and Caden Dana, and recent offseason moves, including Michael King’s signing with the Padres and its impact on the Angels’ rotation plans. Will the Angels build a contender around Neto before rivals come calling for their next breakout star?
