DeAngelis began his career in MiLB with the Aberdeen IronBirds (Short Season A; NY-Penn League) from 2011-2013 and then moved on to the State College Spikes (Short Season A; NY-Penn League), who hired DeAngelis as Director of Sales. From 2013-2016, DeAngelis increased total ticket and sponsorship revenue for three consecutive years and broke the team’s single game attendance record on five separate occasions.
