The Los Angeles Angels are finalizing their Opening Day roster ahead of the 2025 MLB season, and right-handed pitcher Ryan Johnson had reportedly earned his place on the 26-man roster, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Johnson, who was selected in the second round of the 2024 MLB Amateur draft out of Dallas Baptist University, will make his MLB debut this spring, despite never having featured in a minor-league game. Johnson didn't pitch in the minor leagues after being drafted last season, but he enjoyed a strong spring training and showcased to the Angels that he's ready to make the leap to MLB.
