Rick Ankiel is currently a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was an up and coming pitcher but was quickly sent to the minor league in 2000 after he had psychological issues that led him to lose control of his pitches. He returned in 2001 but again had issues controlling his pitches and was sent back to the minor league. He has recently returned to the Cardinals after therapy and is once again a rising star.
On March 9, 2005, Ankiel announced that he is switching to the outfield.[1]
