Official Ottawa Titans News Release
Ottawa, Ont. - The Ottawa Titans have announced the signings of Canadian right-handed pitcher Conor Angel and left-handed pitcher Kyle White for the upcoming 2024 Frontier League season.
Angel, 24, joins the Titans out of the Tampa Bay Rays organization, in which the Canadian right-hander tossed parts of two seasons in the Florida Complex League. Angel, a former Junior National Team member, appeared in three minor league games.
Born in the Montreal suburb of Pointe-Claire, Que., Angel was selected by the Rays in the 15th round of the 2021 MLB Draft. The 6-foot-6 righty compiled a career 1-3 record and posted a 4.50 ERA over 30 innings at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (Lafayette, La.) in 2020 and 2021. Angel struck out 35 batters, which was good enough for a 10.5 SO/9. Before collegiate baseball, Angel received the Russell Martin Trophy for being the top prospect in the Quebec Junior Elite League in 2017.
White, 24, officially puts pen to paper with the Titans after being acquired in a trade with the Washington Wild Things. This past summer, the left-hander made 12 professional appearances in relief and went 1-0 with a 4.15 ERA over 13 innings – walking five and striking out nine. Eight of his 12 appearances were scoreless outings, where he issued four walks and recorded seven strikeouts during a stellar span.
A Palm Harbor, Fla., product, White attended the University of Mobile (Mobile, Ala.) from 2021 to 2023. Before turning pro in 2023, White was 6-2 with a career-best 3.76 ERA and fanned 56 in 69 1/3 innings. Over 38 career collegiate appearances (26 starts, 12 in relief), White went 8-8 with a 5.20 ERA in 135 innings – walking 57 and striking out 119.
The Ottawa Titans open the 2024 season on Friday, May 10 against the New England Knockouts. The Titans’ home opener is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21 versus the Tri-City ValleyCats at Ottawa Stadium.
