CJ Gray News: Goes to Halos in fifth round

The Angels have selected Gray with the 140th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

A prep righty from North Carolina, Gray was a multi-sport athlete in high school and could have been a mid-major college quarterback. His changeup is his top offspeed pitch and he has a very high ceiling due to his lack of reps and live arm. Once Gray gets pro instruction, he could be sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball.
