Edward Francis-Story of an Undrafted Free Agent

You have to be pretty bad not to be drafted after 40 rounds. The common sense thing to do would be to give up and find a new career. But some of us are crazy and still hold on to a dream of playing Major League Baseball.

My college career was well traveled to say the least. After two seasons at Sinclair Community College, I transferred to Dayton University. But during fall workouts, I blew out my knee and was forced to miss the season and redshirted. I had no scholarship, and Dayton is an expensive school, so I transferred SUNY Cortland for the last two years of my eligibility. SUNY Cortland has a pretty good program, but it is D3 so the competition isn't the greatest. I hit .335 with 15 homeruns while providing good defense behind the plate, but it wasn't enough to get drafted.

I still wanted to continue to play, so I reached out to some Indy ball teams, and got signed by the Washington Wild Things. My goal is to get out of here ASAP to get to an organization and make the majors.
