Head attended Hayden High School and Washburn University before being signed as a non-drafted free agent by the Cleveland Indians. Since 2006, Head has played in minor league baseball with the Burlington Indians, Lake County Captains, Kinston Indians, Akron Aeros, Buffalo Bisons, and Columbus Clippers.

Head was promoted to the majors for the first time on August 28, 2011.[1]
