| 5/22/01- Yankees Sign Henn Sean Henn, a leftt-handed pitcher from McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas agreed to a $1,701,000 signing bonus with the New York Yankees. Henn would have been eligible for this year's draft, where he likely would have been picked in the top half of the first round, if the Yankees had not signed him. Henn was originally drafted in 1999 by the Yankees in the 30th round out of Aledo (TX) High School. He was drafted again last year by the Yanks, but this time in the 26th round. Henn posted a 1.97 ERA this year at McLennan and he features a fastball that tops out at 99 MPH. He is probably a few years away from the majors and will likely start his pro career here in Staten Island. |
