He was the 31st overall pick, between Jason Pruitt and Justin Thompson. He was San Diego's second choice, following fellow hurler Joey Hamilton.

He pitched in seven game for the AZL Padres in '91, all starts, and was impressive.

He remained in A ball for 1993, this time pitching for the Waterloo Diamonds. He was a disaster, posting a 1-2 record and a whopping 6.66 ERA in only seven games. This was his final season, ending his career with a 8-13 record.
