Intern Baseball PlayerPittsburgh Pirates starter Ross Ohlendorf majored in Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton, a major that combined mathematics, engineering and economics, so it’s safe to say Xbox and cleavage diving with Nick Swisher won’t be cutting it for him during the offseason.Â

Turns out the promising young starter, who runs a longhorn-cattle business with his family year-round, has been spending a good portion of his downtime working 20 hours a week as a non-paid intern in the office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. According to the report, Ohlendorf already has plans to extend his eight-week internship, where his work has been focused on animal identification, a tracking system used to pinpoint an animal’s location after a disease is discovered.

In short, Ross Ohlendorf is a raging badass. But seriously, the Pirates should probably just go ahead and name him GM already.
