\n<\/font><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThis week we catch up with former Waterloo Buck catcher Jeff Lanning.  Jeff played for the Waterloo Bucks in the 2006 and 2007 seasons.  \\\"\\\"<\/p>\n

Jeff grew up in Ankeny, IA and played High School ball for Ankeny High School.  Jeff is 6’2" and 210 lbs and he throws\/bats right handed. Jeff attended the University of Nebraska while playing for the Bucks before transferring to the University of New Orleans for his final year. <\/p>\n

As a Waterloo Buck, Jeff played in 86 games with a 0.286 batting average in 318 at-bats.  Jeff had 91 hits, 15 doubles, 1 triple, 4 home runs, 38 runs batted in, 32 walks, and 8 stolen bases. <\/p>\n

Jeff was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2008 (8th round, #246 overall).  He has spent most of his time in the single A while posting some good stats.  Jeff played for the Minnesota Twin minor league system for two years before being signed by the Philadelphia Phillies where he played for the Lakewood BlueClaws last season.<\/p>\n
