OF Jamie Hoffmann was drafted by the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes in the 2003 NHL entry draft [1] in June 2003. Undrafted in baseball's 2003 amateur draft, he was signed by baseball scout Jeff Schugel for the Los Angeles Dodgers in August 2003. He made his pro debut the next summer with the GCL Dodgers.
