Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Yoan Moncada is being used as a strong-side platoon player for the Angels, sitting out multiple games against left-handed pitchers. In 2026, he has struggled significantly against lefties, going 1-for-23 with a 3:11 BB:K ratio. He was benched for games against the Blue Jays, Guardians, and Dodgers due to left-handed starters.
