ROYALS SIGN SOUTH AFRICAN PITCHER

The Kansas City Royals have signed 17-year-old South African pitcher Dylan Lindsay to a seven-year contract for an undisclosed amount of money. Lindsay was discovered in 2007 by Royals scout Mike Randell, who says, “He just seems to have blossomed over the past year. It’s been amazing to see him grow and develop.”


Lindsay will join South Africa’s National Team in mid-January to begin training for the upcoming World Baseball Classic, although his slot on the roster has not been finalized. The native of Gauteng, South Africa will move to Arizona in 2010 after graduating from school.
