Professional Baseball
Klatt was drafted in 2000 by the San Diego Padres as a 3rd baseman with their 11th round pick. He played for Class A Peoria that summer where he led the team in doubles (12) and batted .209 with 1 HR and had 15 RBIs. In 2001, he was with Idaho Falls (2 HR, 10 RBI, 3 SB). In 2002 he told himself if he did not move up to high-A ball, he would give college football a try. After he reported for spring training with Eugene, he realized he would never make it in the Big Leagues. He then left the team and baseball and walked-on to Colorado.
