6.55 ERA but 80 Ks in 66 innings. Maybe they think they can tweak something. Of course it's the 13th round. 

[Tony-OH]

Clearly Elias and Sig are going off trackman numbers and not stats with these kinds of guys.

[LookinUp]

Or they just love the name. I hear this guy has a Hammer curveball!

[catjuggler]

I'm praying for a battery of Hammer and Cannon...besides striking people out they can solve murders on off days

Dan Hammer is the name straight out of a Steven Seagal movie.  

Seriously:

Matt Conlin

Marshall Lawson

Jack Foster

John Seeger

Dan Hammer

Jonathan Cold

Harlan Banks

Orin Boyd

Casey Ryback

Mason Storm

John Hatcher

 

Yes, I seriously looked up Steven Seagal movie character names on IMDB.

Can-you have completely redeemed yourself for any and all past ills...how that show never really made it is beyond me.

The O's need to merge some of their players' names.  Wouldn't it be great to have a prospect named "Maverick Cannon"?  Or "Maverick Hammer"?

Quote

Pitcher Dan Hammer was taken in the 13th Round by the Baltimore Orioles. Fellow pitcher Derek West went in the 14th Round to the Houston Astros. Perry rounded out the selections as he went in the 28th Round to the Detroit Tigers.

Perry was a senior so he’s definitely gone. West was taken last year in the 28th Round but ultimately decided to return for his junior year. This time, however, he appears ready to jump to the Astros, per this tweet.

To date, I haven’t seen word that Hammer has signed with the Orioles yet. But these things often go under the radar so it’s possible he has. Nevertheless, his statement about ‘pursuing a lifelong dream’ makes it sound like he is leaning towards leaving, too.
