Like many recent college graduates, it's been hard for Danny Moskovits to find a job in his chosen field.

Professional baseball player is one career an Ivy League education can't accelerate.

Moskovits graduated from Harvard in May with a degree in psychology and four years of college baseball under his belt. Undrafted by any Major League organization, Moskovits remained undeterred.

Last month, the right-handed pitcher from Newport Coast who stood out at Corona del Mar High signed with the Quebec Capitales of the independent Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball.

"He was our best pitcher when we brought him up his sophomore year," said John Emme, Corona del Mar's baseball coach. "He didn't throw much for us the last two years – I think there was a little arm trouble. We used him mostly as a hitter his junior and senior years."

Moskovits, the 2009 Daily Pilot Dream Team Player of the Year, graduated from CdM with a 4.2 GPA and was good enough on the diamond to get scholarship offers from several Division I schools. Cal Poly SLO and UC Santa Barbara are two strong programs that wanted him as a pitcher.
