He was drafted by the Tigers in the 27th round in the 2009 draft. He worked his way up to High-A, but was cut in 2011. Three days later, he was signed by the San Diego Padres. There he went from rookie ball all the way up to AAA in one year, but was released right before the start of the 2012 season.
