The Boston Red Sox select, Nick Hagadone, a left handed pitcher out of the University of Washington.
Hagadone has a fastball that ranges from 90-93, a nasty slider and evolving changeup. He’s a big boy too. 6’5″ 230 lbs.
Hagadone was a starter and a reliever in college. He even combined with another famous Husky alum on a no hitter in 2006. You might know him as Tim Lincecum, rookie phenom pitcher with the San Francisco Giants, who was a 1st-round draft choice last season.
If you want to make comparisions as far as where he went in the draft, look back to the 2002 draft. The Red Sox took this kid named Jon Lester. We all know how he’s turned out.
Beau Mills, son of Boston bench coach Brad Mills, was selected by the Cleveland Indians 13th overall in the first round. Mills, a power hitting corner infielder, hit 38 HR’s this year for Lewis and Clark and was the NAIA player of the year. In 2004 the Red Sox drafted him in the 44th round. (Taken from Steve’s notes)
