He appeared in 12 games that season, with one hit in 16 at bats and one run scored.
Sevcik was listed at tall and and threw and batted right-handed. He was signed by the Twins as an amateur free agent in 1964 out of the University of Missouri; his twin brother, James, was also signed by Minnesota that spring.
John Sevcik's pro career lasted for eight seasons, all but 1965 in minor league baseball. James Sevcik, an outfielder, played for four seasons in the minors.
