According to his Twitter feed, Stetter is currently in extended spring training and expects to be assigned to the Double-A level.



Jason Van Skike, also a former ISU pitcher, reports on his Twitter feed that he is in extended spring training to begin his second season in the Chicago White Sox organization.

Van Skike said on @JasonVanSkike “I'm in extended for now, I'll break with the rookie ball teams pending a call up”



Clint Barmes, a former ISU infielder, got off to a slow start this season after signing a $10.5M two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
