Despite no high school or college playing experience, the Twins were impressed with a 22 year-old paleontologist from South Dakota who tried out at a camp in Fort Myers, Fla. He signed for a $500 bonus and has begun his pro career with the Twins’ rookie league team in the Gulf Coast League as a pitcher.
He apparently has good speed (fastball clocked at 88-90 mph) and movement on his pitches.
John Krogstad high school didn’t have a team and he didn’t attend college. He has been working in paleontology until now digging up dinosaur fossils. So what about his old job? “The dinosaur bones are always going to be there,” said Krogstad.
