The Los Angeles Angels reached an agreement on a contract with first-round pick Sean Newcomb hours before Friday's deadline.

Newcomb, the 15th overall selection last month, signed for $2,518,400, more than the recommended $2,475,600 for his slot.

Newcomb, who was a junior at the University of Hartford, went 8-2 with a 1.25 ERA -- the seventh-best ERA in the NCAA -- in 14 starts as batters hit just .162 against him.
