Drafted - Selected by
Washington Nationals in 11th Round (324th overall) of 2005 amateur entry draft (June-Reg).
John Lannan LHSP - The 21-year old left was an 11th round selection in the 2005 draft. In 138 innings for Savannah, Lannan struck out 114 while walking 54. He has three developing pitches in a low-90s fastball, a curve that was sharper & showed more bite than 2005, and an improved change up. He will likely begin the 2007 season in Potomac but will need to build on his efforts of 2006 in order to make his next step.
