The Los Angeles Angels' second base battle is something of a race to the bottom. Christian Moore's 2025 struggles haven't completely taken away the top prospect shine he once had, but it became clear he had more work to do in order to be a viable big leaguer. Meanwhile, his chief competition, Oswald Peraza and Vaughn Grissom, have long seen their prospect hype vanish.
As the trio battles a number of other veterans, not only to be the starter at the keystone, but also for roles on the bench, certain things have become clear. Oswald Peraza's blistering hot spring has guaranteed him a spot, although his versatility might make a utility role the best fit for him.
