After getting offered to play as an undrafted free agent for the Detroit Tigers this week, the Wichita State right-handed pitcher Connor Holden is about to head out to Florida to begin his professional baseball career.
News of Holden signing with the professional baseball team dropped Thursday.
“The Tigers were the first team to give me a chance so I jumped at it,” Holden said. “It goes back to being a little kid – always dreaming about ‘hey, like could that be me one day on the TV.’ Now, I get an opportunity to try to get there.
