"Mitch Mustain's college career as a quarterback didn't pan out, but the Chicago White Sox apparently like his right arm.

The Sox have signed Mustain, who came out of Springdale, Ark., as one of the top high school quarterbacks in the nation, to a minor league contract. Mustain will report to spring training on March 8, according to a story published Thursday at nwahomepage.com.

Mustain, 23, hasn't pitched since high school, but he told a reporter he threw 90 mph during a tryout last month in front of a Sox scout. Mustain told the Los Angeles Daily News in October of 2009 that he was considering pursuing baseball but never pitched for the Trojans' once-successful baseball program."
