Tyrell Jenkins Tackles Pitching Career

Two-a-days in Waco or once every five days in Johnson City wasn’t a tough call for Tyrell Jenkins.

St. Louis made the 6-foot-4, 180-pounder from Henderson, Texas the 50th overall pick in Major League Baseball’s June draft. But Jenkins had also signed to play football and baseball at Baylor, and a contract with the Cardinals wasn’t ironed out until late last week. He signed for $1.3 million and arrived in Johnson City on Saturday.
