RHP Dinesh Patel and LHP Rinku Singh are believed to be the first athletes from India ever to sign pro baseball contracts. They were identified about six months ago from a group of 30,000 other athletes in India competing to win a "Million Dollar Arm" contest.

For the past 6 months both pitchers had been training with pitching coach Tom House at USC, in preparation for a November tryout in Tempe, Arizona.

Coincidentally, my son played catch with Dinesh during warm-ups and drills at the USC Prospect camp last August 29-31 and I happened to get one of Dinesh's fastball deliveries in slo-mo with the Fastec camera.

We just saw the great news about Dinesh and Rinku signing free-agent contracts with the Pittsburgh Pirates in today's paper! Congratulations Dinesh and Rinku!!!
