August 20, 2019

By Michael Marcantonini AltoonaCurve.com It’s not uncommon for an organization to move top prospects quickly through its minor league system. It is, however, uncommon to see a 22nd-round pick reach Double-A with less than two full minor league seasons under his belt–especially a player who’s spent most of his professional career in a utility role. … More Player Profile: Brett Pope

Player Profile: Blake Cederlind

July 22, 2019

By Garett Mansfield AltoonaCurve.com It may not be much of a stretch to picture Blake Cederlind as one of the class clowns during his days at Turlock (Calif.) High School.

Player Profile: Jared Oliva

June 28, 2019

By Jim Lane AltoonaCurve.com CURVE, Pa. –The road to Altoona and Double-A professional baseball wasn’t an easy one for Curve center fielder Jared Oliva. “Not your typical story,” Oliva said matter-of-factly at Peoples Natural Gas Field recently.

June 28, 2019

By Jim Lane AltoonaCurve.com CURVE, Pa. — One of the first things that catches your eye about Curve pitcher Blake Weiman’s biography is his high school alma mater: Columbine, Colorado. That’s right!

June 28, 2019

By Jim Lane AltoonaCurve.com CURVE, Pa. – Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 280 pounds, Curve pitcher Matt Eckelman looks more like an NFL player than a professional baseball player.
