Before starting career, Yerzy spends time with big club

TORONTO -- Andy Yerzy has yet to play his first professional baseball game, but the D-backs' second-round selection in this year's Draft got a taste of the big league lifestyle on Tuesday night.

Yerzy, the 52nd overall pick on June 9, joined the club for batting practice ahead of Arizona's series opener with the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

"That was awesome just being able to go out there and seeing what it's like being in a pro atmosphere, what it's like in the locker room, and just picking the brain of some of those players was just an amazing experience," Yerzy said.
