ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Sam Bachman was promoted by the Los Angeles Angels on Friday, making him the first top-10 pick from the 2021 amateur draft to reach the majors.
Bachman, the ninth overall selection by the Angels out of Miami University in Ohio, made his debut in relief in the opener of a weekend series against the Miami Marlins. He showed off a mix of power and wildness, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four in two innings. The Angels fell 6-2 to snap a four-game winning streak.
