A little more on Dodgers newcomer Jordan Jankowski

The Dodgers on Sunday acquired a new pitcher, claiming right-hander Jordan Jankowski off waivers from the Astros. Here is more information on Jankowski, who was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Jankowski was first drafted out of high school in McMurray, Pennsylvania in the 34th round in 2008 by the Astros, but he instead chose to go to college the University of Miami-Ohio. He eventually transferred to Catawba College in North Carolina, a school known to Dodgers fans for also producing outfielder Jerry Sands.

In 2012, the Astros drafted Jankowski again, and again in the 34th round, pick No.
