Kevin Frederick
Kevin Albert Francis Frederick is an American former professional baseball player. In nine seasons, Frederick almost always played as a relief pitcher.Career
Frederick attended high school at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. After graduating from Creighton University, where he was a two-time Missouri Valley Conference all-star, Frederick was drafted in in the 17th round of the amateur entry draft by the Minnesota Twins, but failed to reach a contract agreement with the team.
In the 1998 amateur entry draft, Frederick was again selected by the Twins. He signed with the team, and played four and a half seasons in the minor leagues before being called up in July. He made his major league debut on July 15 in a win against the Los Angeles Angels, in which he gave up one run over an inning and two thirds. Frederick only pitched in eight games for the Twins that season. Before the season, Frederick was picked up off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays. Frederick pitched most of two seasons in the minor leagues, and was granted free agency after the season. He was signed in the middle of the season by the Boston Red Sox. He played two seasons in the Red Sox farm system, and retired after the season, only twenty-nine years old. Kevin has recently expressed his hobby for video games and hopes one day he can go pro in counter strike.
