Independent ball success, advice from wife leads Logan Sawyer to opportunity with Cardinals

At the start of the offseason, Logan Sawyer had no clue where he might end up playing baseball come spring.

Sawyer, 29, spent the last two years pitching in independent baseball and received calls from different organizations over that time, but a contract never came to fruition.

He wondered how he could get a team's attention. So, he took his wife Natalie’s advice to post his highlight video on Twitter and to tag Rob Friedman, who is known online as “Pitching Ninja” for sharing pitching highlights and analysis on his Twitter account that has a following of over 422,000 users.
