Former winners also include 2010 winner Dallas Keuchel, and current major leaguers Cliff Lee, Craig Gentry, and Eric Hinske, among others.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:-1;">After being drafted in the second round by the Detroit Tigers in 2010, Smyly began his minor league career in 2011 at A+ Lakeland.

He compiled a 12-2 record, a 3.47 ERA and 174 strikeouts in 161.0 innings over his two seasons. In the 2009 postseason he pitched a near no-hitter against Oklahoma in the regional, which helped Arkansas reach its sixth College World Series.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:-1;">He will represent the United States at the 2011 World Cup, which will be held in Panama October 1-15 and the 2011 Pan-American games, which will be held in Guadalajara, Mexico October 19-25.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:-1;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:-1;"><a href="http://www.hognation.net/poy.html">link</a></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/643981028369069913-524916289867778612?l=nstbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NSBnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643981028369069913.post-53317063424568874382011-09-16T12:47:00.002-05:002011-09-16T12:48:59.232-05:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n2L48G4gcLs/TnOLzAxykKI/AAAAAAAABEs/DwdygjWUSvY/s1600/smyly.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n2L48G4gcLs/TnOLzAxykKI/AAAAAAAABEs/DwdygjWUSvY/s320/smyly.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653015665778528418" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><blockquote>USA Baseball announced its 2011 World Cup/Pan Am Team roster on Thursday, as well as its opening round schedules for both events.
