Southeastern pitcher Andrew Landry taken in MLB Draft by Yankees

HAMMOND, La. – Southeastern Louisiana University right-hander Andrew Landry was selected Tuesday by the New York Yankees in the 16th round of the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft.

The junior was the 492nd overall pick, becoming the 59th player in program history to be drafted and the third to be selected by professional baseball’s most storied franchise.

A native of Slidell and product of Northshore High School, Landry compiled a 5-12 win-loss record during his Lion career along with a 5.39 ERA in 130.1 innings pitched. Opponents hit .275 off the right-hander who issued 65 walks and struck out exactly 100 batters during his three seasons in Hammond.

He was named Southland Conference Pitcher of the Week on May 9, 2022, after allowing just a single hit on the way to shutting out HCU, 12-0 in seven innings. It was the only complete game of his SLU career.
