Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Angels.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Angels won 72 Games and finished last in the American League West.  There was no new entrant, but there were changes within the Top 50 due to the new algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which saw changes due to the new algorithm.

1. Mike Trout
2. Nolan Ryan
3. Chuck Finley
4. Shohei Ohtani
5. Jared Weaver

You can find the entire list here.

Please note that Nolan Ryan and Chuck Finley flipped the #2 and #3 positions.  Shohei Ohtani was repurposed from #5 to #4.  Jared Weaver took over #5, and Jim Fregosi dropped off the top five.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
