Ryan Zeferjahn, acquired by the Los Angeles Angels from the Boston Red Sox at the trade deadline, made a promising MLB debut last season. Following a stellar start with a 0.00 ERA at Double-A, he had a mixed performance at Triple-A. CBS Sports' R.J. Anderson forecasts a breakout year for Zeferjahn in 2024, noting his impressive fastball that can reach triple digits, although his inconsistent command raises concerns about his long-term viability. With the Angels lacking standout breakout candidates, Zeferjahn's potential makes him a player to watch closely this spring.

As he prepares for spring training, Zeferjahn's past performance, including a solid 2.35 ERA in his first 7.2 innings in the Angels’ system, positions him as a key prospect for the upcoming season. His ability to strike out batters while minimizing walks will be vital as he vies for a starting role.
