St. Paul Saints Sign Former Big League Pitcher Ligtenberg

Former major league pitcher Kerry Ligtenberg was signed this week, after attending an open tryout with the St. Paul Saints.

After watching Ligtenberg throw a 10-minute live session from the Midway Stadium mound Thursday afternoon, Saints manager George Tsamis invited Ligtenberg to this year's team camp.

"He threw well with his movement and hitting his spots," Tsamis said. "You don't have to throw 95 miles per hour, you just have to throw strikes, hit your spots, change speeds."

Ligtenberg is scheduled to throw in the Saints' first exhibition game Sunday against the Cannon Valley League All-Stars in Miesville.
