Two Kangs Drafted in Second Day of MLB Draft

 

Congratulations are in order to two former Kangs, who were selected on the second day of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft.

 

·         Lake Washington senior outfielder Hilton Richardson was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the seventh round of the first year player draft on Friday.  Richardson, who is signed with the University of Utah, hit .321 this past season for the Kangs, with a .509 slugging percentage and 13 stolen bases. 

 

·         Former Lake Washington outfielder David Marks was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 19th round of the draft.  Marks, a 2005 graduate, attended Edmonds Community College where he earned first-team all-NWAACC honors in 2007.  David, a member of the Kangs 2005 KingCo championship team, has signed a letter of intent to play at New Mexico State.

 

Best of luck to these former Kangs in the future!
