Angels draft pick Sean Newcomb promoted to Class A Inland Empire team

The 21 year old is moving on up, to the west side (of the country).

#Angels 1st-round pick Sean Newcomb has been promoted to Class A Advanced Inland Empire, team announced. Will make his first start Saturday.

In a few years, we'll hopefully be figuring out this kid's nickname as he takes the mound for the Halos. I'm excited to see what he does.

Newcomb was sporting a nifty 1.83 ERA over seven starts with the Burlington Bees, where he had struck out 45 batters in 34.
