David Andrew Buchanan is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball. After growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, he attended Chipola College from which the New York Mets drafted him in 2009; he did not sign, instead attending Georgia State University. The Phillies drafted him in 2010, and he quickly moved through the minor league system before ultimately earning an invitation to major league spring training in 2014. Although he was not initially expected to make the team, his strong performance thrust him into the competition for the fifth-starter spot of the Phillies starting rotation. Though he ultimately did not make the opening day roster, he remained in consideration for the fifth-starter spot. When not playing baseball, he enjoys various outdoor activities among other hobbies, and resides in Georgia. [More at Wikipedia]
