Former Georgia State starting pitcher David Buchanan was selected to start for the Northern Division in the 2011 South Atlantic League All-Star game. The Peachtree City native was selected by the Phillies in the 7th round of the 2010 MLB Draft after his Junior season. He was previously selected in the 6th round of the 2009 draft by the Mets but optioned to stay at Georgia State for another season.
David currently plays for the Lakewood Blueclaws (you cannot help but to love minor league baseball at least for the mascot names) and leads the league in wins (8) and has the 6th best ERA (2.85).
Congratulations to David as he is well on his way to advancing in the Phillies minor league system!
