Now imagine being picked up by a professional baseball team, joining its staff, going all throughout the country, oh, and making a little more money on the side.
This is the life of Austin Blaski, the Milwaukee Brewers new pitching prospect, who was drafted 665th overall in the 21st round in Major League Baseball's draft earlier this month.
The Icon has individual results from the first four swim meets of the season. Scores follow; results are in the attachments at the bottom of this story.
