Fort Worth Cats News Release
The Fort Worth Cats have re-signed 2008 first-round draft pick Aaron Crow, it was announced today. The right-handed pitcher appeared in one regular season game last season, working a scoreless inning in El Paso in his professional debut. He then made two relief appearances in the post season, allowing no runs and no hits in two innings of work.
Crow, out of the University of Missouri, was the ninth overall pick in the 2008 Major League Draft by the Washington Nationals, but was unable to reach an agreement with the Nationals before the Aug. 15 deadline, leading to his signing with the Cats. He is expected to re-enter the draft in June.
Crow went 13-0 in 2008 for Missouri with a 2.35 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 107 innings and was the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Year.
Kansas City pitcher Luke Hochevar was with the Cats in 2006 before becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 June draft by the Royals. Last season, Max Scherzer pitched for the Cats before signing a multi-million dollar deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
