2025 Fantasy Outlook
As is their wont, the Angels promoted Dana from Double-A to the majors for his big-league debut at the beginning of September. He made three starts, largely struggling to the tune of a 9.58 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB in 10.1 innings before getting shut down for the year in what the team said was an effort to make sure he entered the offseason healthy. Dana was the second-youngest player in the majors (behind Jackson Chourio), and he turned 21 in December, so we shouldn't hold his struggles in the majors against him. He logged a 2.52 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 20.1 K-BB% in 135.2 innings over 23 starts at Double-A, and he was the second-youngest pitcher at that level to log 100-plus innings. He has the secondary pitches to succeed, with a plus slider and a good enough changeup, however his 94-mph fastball was tattooed by big leaguers (.621 wOBA, .481 xwOBA). The 6-foot-4 righty is still young enough to be adding velocity to his fastball, but that is not a given. Dana should spend the majority of the year in the big-league rotation, health and success permitting. Read Past Outlooks
Moved to Triple-A
The Angels optioned Dana to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Dana was wildly inconsistent across his three Cactus League outings. He surrendered three earned runs over 1.2 innings in his spring debut before tossing three scoreless frames in his second start. He then struggled again in his most recent outing, giving up seven runs in one inning while striking out two and walking four. The 21-year-old prospect will look to find his footing in Triple-A to begin the year and attempt to return to the Angels' rotation at some point this summer.
