Yusei Kikuchi is exactly what the Angels need to be competitors, as long as they also sign three more starters and Juan Soto. And maybe that wouldn’t even be enough.

Kikuchi threw his changeup just 10.9 percent of the time during 22 starts with Toronto. Friday, it comprised 26 percent of his arsenal. Of the 14 swings Tampa Bay took against it, 11 were whiffs.
