Newcomb, 23, has a 4.26 ERA and 118:60 K:BB through 112 innings for Double-A Mississippi.

EDGE Analysis

Despite leading the Southern League in strikeouts and holding opposing hitters to a .238 BAA, Newcomb's ERA remains on the high side due to a plethora of walks. The continued free passes will only further hinder his progress as he ascends to the higher levels.

Newcomb, 22, has a 3.47 ERA and 58:33 K:BB through 57 innings for Double-A Mississippi.

EDGE Analysis

The additional baserunners have come back to haunt Newcomb a bit this season, though he is still striking out more than one batter per inning. In addition, he has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his last four outings.

Newcomb, 22, has a 2.94 ERA and 61:25 K:BB ratio in 49 innings since being promoted to High-A Inland Empire. Newcomb has been dominant in his first full season in the Angels organization. Opposing batters are hitting just .216 against him in 2015. He is walking a few too many batters, but it has not really hurt him thus far. The ability to induce ground balls has also helped to limit the damage. Newcomb is undoubtedly the top prospect for the Halos.

Newcomb has a 0.84 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP with 11 strikeouts in two starts (10.2 innings) with High-A Inland Empire. The 21-year-old southpaw was promoted to High-A earlier this month and has put a hurt on the California League through two starts. Newcomb has had one of the more impressive starts to 2015 among players from the 2014 draft class and should be considered a no-doubt top-100 prospect in dynasty leagues at this point.

The Angels promoted Newcomb to High-A Inland Empire on Thursday, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports. Newcomb, the Angels' first-round pick last year, earned a promotion to the High-A level by posting a 1.83 ERA and 45:19 K:BB ratio in 34.1 innings over seven starts with Low-A Burlington. He is scheduled to make his High-A debut Saturday.
