Former Kentucky baseball star Alex Meyer is currently a standout in the Minnesota Twins minor league system, ranking as the 32nd best prospect in all of baseball by MLB.com, but it is his offseason job that is garnering some unique national attention.

A 6-foot-9, 230-pound right-handed pitcher, Meyer is spending his offseason in hometown Greensburg, Ind., working as a substitute teacher.

As a former first-round draft pick after an All-Southeastern Conference season in 2011, Meyer – who makes $63 a day as a substitute teacher – signed as a junior for a reported seven-figure bonus.
