Career

Heyer attended Coronado High School, where he starred for the school's baseball team.[1] He was named co-pitcher of the year in the East Sky Region in 2004, his senior season.[2] The Arizona Diamondbacks drafted Heyer in the 36th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft. He enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) in 2005, a junior college competing athletically in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Heyer was a "draft-and-follow" prospect, intending to sign with the Diamondbacks before the 2005 draft.[3] He did not sign with the Diamondbacks, returning to CSN.[4]

The Diamondbacks again chose Heyer, this time in the 31st round of the 2005 MLB draft. He again did not sign with the Diamondbacks, remaining at CSN for his sophomore season.[5] The NJCAA forced CSN to forfeit its first 37 games of his sophomore year when Heyer and a teammate were ruled ineligible.[6] Heyer was undrafted in 2006, and transferred to UNLV for his junior season, where he played for the UNLV Rebels baseball team.[7] After the 2006 season, he played collegiate summer baseball for the Thunder Bay Border Cats of the Northwoods League.[8] He returned to UNLV in 2007 for his senior season.[9] The Yankees drafted Heyer in the 22nd round of the 2007 MLB draft, and he signed.[10]

Heyer pitched for the Staten Island Yankees of the Class-A Short Season New York–Pennsylvania League in 2007, the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class-A South Atlantic League in 2008, the Tampa Yankees of the Class-A Advanced Florida State League in 2009 and 2010. The Yankees assigned him to the Phoenix Desert Dogs of the Arizona Fall League in 2010.[10] He pitched for the Trenton Thunder of the Class-AA Eastern League in 2011. Slated to begin the 2012 season in Trenton, he was instead promoted to the Class-AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees of the International League.[11] Heyer pitched for the New Jersey Jackals of the independent Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball in 2013.

gollark: > The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed from available data. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, “Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days.” Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition seven times seven (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or fifty times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one ten-thousandth of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that. With these data we can compute the temperature of Heaven. The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses fifty times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed, but it must be less than 444.6C, the temperature at which brimstone or sulphur changes from a liquid to a gas. Revelations 21:8 says “But the fearful, and unbelieving … shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, or 444.6C (Above this point it would be a vapor, not a lake.) We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C. – “Applied Optics”, vol. 11, A14, 1972
gollark: This is because it canonically receives 50 times the light Earth does.
gollark: Heaven is in fact hotter.
gollark: Hell is known to be maintained at a temperature of less than something like 460 degrees due to the presence of molten brimstone.
gollark: Despite humans' constant excretion of excess water, holy water levels are actually maintained in the body through the actions of the holicase enzyme.
