The chances of a player taken in the 31st round ever contributing to a big league ball club are pretty slim. Even slimmer, when the player in question is trying A-ball for the first time as a 24-year-old. However, Austin Conway, relief pitcher for the Winston-Salem Dash, just might have the talent to overcome the odds.
Conway was selected by the Chicago White Sox from the University of Louisville in the 2018 draft. He played four seasons of college ball at Indiana State, then transferred to Louisville as a grad student where he played his fifth season (he was granted a medical redshirt after missing the majority of his junior year).
