Princeton, N.J. - With the baseball season winding down, it is a great chance to check on the current Tigers playing Minor League Baseball throughout the country. Three former Princeton pitchers and three former position players recently finished their 2003 seasons and are already looking forward to what lies ahead in seasons to come.
One of Princeton's highest profile athletes of recent memory is Chris Young '02. Young, a baseball and basketball star at Princeton, was chosen by Pittsburgh in the second round of the 2000 baseball draft. Prior to this season, Young was involved in a trade to the Montreal Expos organization. He began the season in A Brevard County and was promoted to AA Harrisburg in the middle of the year. In AA ball, he pitched to a 4-4 record and a 4.01 ERA in 15 appearances.

Last spring Thomas Pauly became the highest Princeton player chosen in the baseball draft when Cincinnati chose him early in the second round. Pauly signed in early June and was assigned to A-ball in Dayton, Ohio. Once there, he joined the Dragons' starting rotation and made 12 starts with a 2-5 record and a 4.02 ERA.

Scott Hindman '03 was chosen late in the 2002 draft by Anaheim and reported to rookie ball after graduating in June. He made six appearances with the Mesa Angels before he was elevated to the Provo Angels where he completed the summer. In Provo, he was 3-0 as the Angels made a run through the Pioneer League playoffs
