The 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft has come and gone, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have selected a fine bunch of youngsters this season. Despite being without their first round picks due to trades, the Angels made due with a nice mix of some solid choices.
All-in-all the Angels selected 33 college players and five high school players in this year's draft. That includes 17 pitchers (13 RHP, 4 LHP), nine infielders, seven catchers and five outfielders. Ten selections either attended school in or are from the state of Florida, while six players have ties to Texas. No California players were drafted this year.
Wednesday's third round selections included Kenny Hatcher, nephew of former Angels hitting coach Mickey Hatcher, taken in the 36th round out, as well as Justin Morhardt, the son of Angels National Crosschecker, Greg Morhardt.
Below is the complete listing of 2012 MLB Draft picks by the Angels. Those highlighted include a link to their MLB.com scouting video.
