The Angels used a 40th round draft pick on Asaad Ali, the youngest son of boxing great Muhammad Ali.
Asaad, a 5-foot-10, 224-pound catcher, was adopted by Ali in 1992, and led his high school to the Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference West Division championship.
"He's a guy we'd like to see more of this summer. Being Muhammad Ali's son, he's naturally attracting a lot of attention, like Jake Locker," said Angels scouting director Eddie Bane. "We have some good reports on Ali. He's a big kid who needs to get in better shape, but he can do that. We'll keep an eye on him and see how he develops."
