Curtis was a four year starting catcher at Fresno State, where he still ranks in the top ten in many categories, including games, hits, at-bats, RBI, and runs. He led the Western Athletic Conference in doubles with 22 in 1995.[4][1] Selected by the California Angels in the 28th round of the 1996 Major League Baseball draft, Curtis played professionally from 1996 to 2000 in the California (later Anaheim) Angels and Cleveland Indians organizations, reaching Class-AA in both systems.[5] He was highly rated as a prospect early in his minor league career.[1][6]
