It did not take Heston Kjerstad long to agree to terms on his first professional baseball contract.
The Baltimore Orioles announced Tuesday that they had signed Kjerstad, the former University of Arkansas All-American and No. 2 pick in the Major League Baseball Draft.
The native of Amarillo, Texas, signed his first pro contract 20 days after the Orioles took him right behind No. 1 pick Spencer Torkelson of Arizona State, who went to the Detroit Tigers. Kjerstad is the second-highest Razorback draft pick, behind only Jeff King, the No. 1 pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1986 MLB Draft.
