Amateur career
Journell was born in Springfield, Ohio. He graduated from North High School and attended the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.[1] In 1998, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2]
Professional career
Journell was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 4th round of the 1999 MLB Draft,[1] and was selected for the US team in the 2002 All-Star Futures Game.[3] He was once a highly regarded prospect in the Cardinals' minor league system (even considered the team's best prospect according to Baseball America), but had control and injury problems in the Major Leagues.[4] After posting an earned run average (ERA) of 6.00 in seven games in 2003,[1] Journell suffered a right shoulder injury in 2004, forcing him to undergo season-ending surgery.[4] In 2005, his record was 0–1 with a 10.38 ERA in five appearances for the Cardinals.[1]
On December 1, 2005, he signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds,[5] but was later released on March 20, 2006.[6] He spent the 2006 season with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.[7]
