Ambort, Kanaby, Harrington and Meyer taken on second day of MLB

Lamar Sports Information

June 8, 2007 - 6:47PM

BEAUMONT - Lamar University had four more players taken on the second day

of the 2007 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Friday.

The Cardinals who were drafted include catcher Michael Ambort, outfielder

Erik Kanaby and pitchers Allen Harrington and Scott Meyer.

Ambort, who was a first-team All-Southland Conference selection, finished

his career as the school's all-time home run leader with 38 and his 173

career RBIs ranks second only to Kim Christensen's 190. He posted a .329

average with 140 runs scored and 51 doubles, which ranks fifth all-time. He

was named SLC hitter of the year in 2005, when he also earned American

Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) second-team and Baseball America

third-team All-America honors.

A native of Rockville Centre, N.Y., Ambort was selected in the sixth round,

194th overall, by the San Francisco Giants. He batted 368 this season with

46 runs scored, 81 hits, 22 doubles, which ranks as the fifth-best

single-season total in school history, 11 home runs and 63 runs batted in.

He led the team with a .618 slugging percentage.

Kanaby, a first-team All-SLC selection, led the team with a .406 batting

average, which ranks as the second-best single-season average in school

history behind Jordan Foster's .417 in 2003. His 91 hits also rank second in

school history behind Foster's 96 in 2003. He led the team with 62 run

scored, which is tied for the second-most in a single-season behind Blake

Justice's 66 in 2002. His career batting average of .381 ranks as the best

in school history.

A native of Houston, Kanaby was selected in the 10th round, 326th overall,

by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also set a new school record with a 25-game

hitting streak. He led the team with 45 walks and a .507 on-base percentage,

which led the SLC, and his 11 stolen bases were tops on the team.

Harrington posted a 9-4 record with a 3.72 earned run average in 16 starts

this season. He struck out 103, which tied for fifth-most in school history,

in a team-best 109.0 innings pitched, which ranks as the sixth-most in

school history. He limited opponents to a .254 batting average.

A native of Groves, Harrington was taken in the 13th round (417th overall)

by the San Diego Padres. He finished his career with a 16-11 record with a

3.81 ERA in 227.0 IP. His 217 career strikeouts ranks sixth all-time in

school history.

Meyer posted a 1-2 record with a 6.75 ERA and two saves in 21 appearances,

including two starts. He struck out 30 in 37.1 IP. He posted a 5-0 record

last season and was named third-team All-SLC.

A native of Orange, CT, Meyer was selected in the 24th round (727th

overall) by the Chicago Cubs. For his career, he posted an 8-2 record with a

5.00 ERA and three saves in 62 games pitched. He struck out 77 in 108.0 IP,

and limited opponents to a .263 batting average.

Lamar had five players selected in the 2007 MLB Draft as outfielder Collin

DeLome was taken in the fifth round (171st overall) by the Houston Astros

Thursday on day one of the draft. The Cardinals had seven players taken in

the 2004 draft and had six players drafted last year.
