John Lindsay Norwood is a 6’1″, 185 lb. right fielder from Peapack, New Jersey. Born on September 24th, 1992, he was chosen in the 12th round of the 2011 Amateur Entry Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, 379th overall out of Seton Hall Prep.
Norwood didn’t sign with Canada’s only MLB team, instead electing the collegiate route with Vanderbilt. In three seasons in the Commodore outfield, Norwood threw down a .284/.358/.391 slashline, with five home runs and 49 RBI.
One of those five home runs proved to be a game-winner, in game three of the College World Series final.
