Bridgeport, CT – Bridgeport Bluefish team officials today announced that infielder Jay Caligiuri has had his contract purchased by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim organization. Caligiuri will report to Double-A Arkansas of the Texas League.

“Jay has been an integral part of this team and a true leader for the past three years,” says Bluefish general manager Todd Marlin. “We are very glad to see him receive this opportunity and wish him the best of luck.”

Caligiuri played 37 games for the Bluefish in 2009, posting a .289 batting average in 135 at-bats, while driving in 19 runs and recording a team-leading .404 on-base percentage. In three seasons with the Bluefish, the 29-year-old batted .302 over 217 games, while collecting 53 doubles, 23 home runs and 145 RBI. Jay’s best season came during his Atlantic League debut in 2007 as a member of the Bluefish. The California native ranked fifth in the league with a .320 and posted career highs in doubles (33), extra-base hits (48), hits (129), runs scored (79) and RBI (78). Prior to joining Bridgeport, he spent six years in the Mets organization, reaching the Triple-A level once with Norfolk of the International League. In 704 career minor league games, the slugger owns a .266 batting average with 86 home runs and 405 RBI.

The Bridgeport Bluefish Professional Baseball Club, a charter team in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, plays its home games at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard, located off Exit 27 of I-95 on the corner of Broad Street and South Frontage Road in Bridgeport. 2009 season tickets, mini-plans, group outings and individual tickets are available by calling 203-345-4800.
