| Brian Buchanan hit .322 for the University of Virginia in 1993. He was an All-American as a junior in 1994, hitting .396 with 22 home runs (5th in NCAA Division I) and 66 RBIs. He was selected by the New York Yankees in the first round of that year's amateur draft, the 24th overall pick and signed for $500,000. Assigned initially to the Oneonta Yankees, he hit just .226/.335/.367. In 1995, he hit a solid .302/~.362/.427 for the Greensboro Bats with 7 steals in 8 tries but only played in 23 games, presumably due to injury. '96 placed Brian with the Tampa Yankees and he batted .260/~.309/.375 for them, with 23 steals in 31 attempts. In 1997, Buchanan was 8th in the Eastern League in average after hitting .309/~.353/.434 for the Norwich Navigators; moving up to the Columbus Clippers, he hit .279/~.323/.492. |
