Throughout the 2017-18 offseason, Fish Stripes is taking the time to get to know some of our most interesting prospects. Today’s subject, John Lindsay Norwood, is a free-agent signee of the Marlins, and our current #30 prospect.
Norwood, a 6’1”, 185 lb. outfielder from Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey, was born on September 24th, 1992. He was selected in the 12th round of the 2011 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, with the 379th choice off the board after playing his prep ball at Seton Hall Preparatory School. He decided not to sign as a pro, and ended up playing three seasons with the Vanderbilt University Commodores.
