St. Louis Official Twitter

Paul DeJong headed off to college in the fall of 2011 as most athletes do, eager to extend his baseball career but cognizant that his chances of playing after his four-year eligibility expired at Illinois State University were slim. That's why, undrafted out of high school, DeJong began his collegiate career with medical school not as a backup plan, but the primary one.
