NORMAL, Ill. – Former Redbird Eric Aguilera keeps on hitting and keeps on advancing through the Los Angeles Angels' minor-league system.
The native of Cary, Illinois, was selected by the Los Angeles Angels in the 34th round of Major League Baseball's First-Year Player Draft in 2013. He started his professional career in the Rookie Pioneer League that summer, as a member of the Orem Owlz. He then moved through two levels of Class-A ball in 2014, playing first for the Midwest League's Burlington Bees and later for Inland Empire of the California League. Aguilera played the majority of the 2015 season with Inland Empire before a late-season call-up to Double-A Arkansas of the Texas League.
