I've only watched two of his starts (last night v. Yankees, and about a week ago against Houston), but Andrew Heaney looks legit to me. That's Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, George Springer, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge as well as a bunch of almost stars he's gone up against and dominated. He doesn't seem to have elite velocity (I think 92 or 93 was the highest I saw), but he works through the game really well. Last night he managed people on base super well (I think there was a guy on 3rd and 1st and he got Judge out by placing the ball too low and then when Judge wouldn't bite he worked his way back to 3 balls no strikes to 3 balls 2 strikes, and then got the out. I don't know if he's considered one of the Angels top starters, but I think he could or should be. He seems really good.
