ABERDEEN, Md. — After the first 22 games of his professional career, Arkansas great Heston Kjerstad has already earned his first promotion. On Monday, the Baltimore Orioles called Kjerstad up to high Single-A.
Two years after being drafted by the Orioles with the second overall pick, Kjerstad made his professional debut on June 10th. Over 22 games he hit .463 with 37 hits and 17 RBI's.
Kjerstad will now play for the Aberdeen Iron Birds. The Razorback great missed the first two seasons of his career because of a heart problem and then a hamstring injury.
