Calloway continues career in Texas

Independent league teams are professional organizations but not affiliated with Major League franchises.
Calloway joined the Colts in July and was hitting .286 through his first 21 at-bats. That included his first professional homerun.

He also has three RBIs.

Calloway is one of three catchers on the Colts’ roster, starting in some games.

Calloway played collegiately for Southern Tech and Emmanuel, but went undrafted this spring.

“He just thought it (his career) was over since he didn’t get in the draft,” Calloway’s mother, Donna Calloway, said. “But his agent called him and told him that he wanted him out there (in San Angelo).”

Calloway seems to be making the most of the opportunity.

Donna Calloway said she listens to her son’s games via the internet and announcers out there seem impressed with the rookie catcher.

“The radio people are really talking about him,” she said.
