Cold Angels bats and hot Mets gloves spoil stellar Jack Kochanowicz outing
The Angels continue to struggle offensively.
Jorge Soler #12 of the Los Angeles Angels hits an RBI single against the New York Mets at Angel Stadium on May 3, 2026, in Anaheim, California. ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Angels’ rotation has made a massive improvement so far this season and while Jose Soriano’s historic start to the season has certainly helped the starting five’s ERA, he’s not the only pitcher who's made a major step up.
Jack Kochanowicz has made a massive improvement this season with a 3. 05 ERA through seven games, a marked improvement from the 6. 81 ERA he finished last season with.
It didn’t take many adjustments for him to get to his point. It was simply a matter of working through his mistakes from last season and building on the good things. “Nothing feels too much different.
I feel like I learned a lot last year from a lot of failures and I had some consistency before that,” Kochanowicz said. “I’ve just been able to tap into that. ” Jack Kochanowicz #41 of the Los Angeles Angels walks to the dugout after a pitching change against the New York Mets at Angel Stadium on May 3, 2026, in Anaheim, California.
