Despite his rather Italian sounding heritage, Angelucci is actually a South African, born in Johannesburg and a member of the South African team at the 2009 World Baseball Classic. He spent three years in the San Diego Padres minors system between 2008-10, reaching low A level ball.
He pitched 2.1 innings of relief over 2 games for the Blue Sox in the 2011-12 season, before returning as an outfielder for the 2012-13 season.
