Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter predicts Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel to have a breakout second half of the season after his impressivee first half. The Halos called up Schanuel in 2023 — the same year they drafted him in the first round — and he played his first full season in 2024. Last season he batted exactly league average with a 100 OPS+ and had the highest on-base percentage among qualified Angels. This season he’s been even better, now boasting a 113 OPS+ with a slugging percentage of nearly .400, and could vastly improve heading into the second half.
