These athletes were drafted by the MLB but played in different leagues

[post_page_title]Matt Cassel[/post_page_title]
The Tennessee Titans quarterback was drafted by the Oakland A’s in the 36th round of the 2004 amateur draft. Cassel had played first base as a kid, reaching the 1994 Little League World Series with his team, but dropped the sport during his junior year of high school to focus on football. He returned to baseball as a pitcher while at the University of Southern California in 2004, but went 0-1 with a 9.35 ERA. But we all know the story, Cassel turned down the A’s offer and instead was drafted by the Patriots during the 2005 draft. Cassel’s two brothers, Justin and Jack, both played baseball.
