MLB: Round 4: David Newmann, LHP, Texas A&M
Baseball America ranked the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Newmann as the 106th-best prospect in the draft, the 58th-best pitcher and
the 18th-best left-hander (12th collegiate). He currently has an 11-1 record with a 2.98 ERA in 17 starts for the 10th-ranked
Aggies (48-17). He earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors this season after missing all of 2006 with Tommy John elbow

herky-jerky motion that creates some deception," Harrison said.
2007 "What a Year for David" After returning from Rehab David threw over 100 innings ending the season at 11-1 in 18 appearances
leading the Aggies to NCAA Regionals hosted in College Station. Aggies won the regionals over Louisiana Lafayette.

Attended McClennan Jr. College 1982
Drafted by the New York Yankees in 1983
Traded to Seattle by Steinbrenner 1988
Coached at Creek by Jim Mallory
Is now retired and lives in the suburbs of Seattle with his High School sweetheart (Leah) and 3 children.
Coach Mallory gave him the nickname "Bone"--ask him the story. He's the best right fielder you'll see anywhere. He hits for power. He drives in runs.
He's got an arm like a cannon. He's a team leader.
And he's a class act in a game that currently doesn't have many.
