Player Profile: Joe Bauserman

I have one card of Joe Bauserman, from 2006 Bowman Prospects.

Playing career: A star pitcher and quarterback coming out of high school, Joe Bauserman chose baseball when he was drafted in the fourth round by the Pirates in 2004. In three minor league seasons he went 14-12 with a 3.43 ERA.

Interesting facts: After the 2007 season Bauserman decided to return to football. He made the Ohio State team as a backup quarterback and was solid in the role. He was promoted to starter in his senior year but struggled, and ended the 2011 season as a third-stringer.

My memories: Only know him from his card.

Where he is now: Anyone know where Joe Bauserman is now?

Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type Joe Baus, ahead of Joe Bausch Golf, a golf course architecture enthusiast. There do not appear to be any other Joe Bausermans.












Coming up next: The next profile will be Tim Beckham.
