Career Katin was originally drafted by the San Diego Padres in both the 2001 and 2002 amateur drafts, but did not sign.

He began his career that year, playing for their Rookie League Helena Brewers and Class A West Virginia Power. He advanced to the Class A-Advanced Brevard County Manatees in 2006, where he was named to the league's All-Star team as a designated hitter. Later in the season, he was promoted to the Double-A Huntsville Stars. He played the entire 2007 season with Huntsville and was named to the league's mid-season and post-season All-Star teams. He appealed the test results, and they were overturned.
