King of the Hill

Justin King used to think pitchers were dumb.

Growing up exclusively as a hitter, he always thought all they wanted to throw was fastballs, so he would wait on a hanging slider or curveball so he could send it flying.

The Dawgs Academy grad has had to change his belief on that after transitioning into a pitcher during his final college season – a move that recently landed him a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Dawgs Academy grad Alejandro Cazorla-Granados isn’t phased at packing his bags again, finding himself a new home as he chases his baseball dreams.

For the first time in his professional career, Tanner Kirwer is changing organizations.
