TAMPA, Fla. -Â George Washington pitcher and alumnus Harrison Cohen has signed a free agent contract with the New York Yankees, the former Colonial confirmed Monday.
Cohen, who grew up a die-hard Yankees fan in Syosset, N.Y., now gets the chance to join his hometown organization after putting pen to paper on Sunday night at the Yankees' spring training complex in Tampa.
A five-year member of the GW baseball program, Cohen capped off his final season in Buff & Blue by being named to the A-10 All-Conference Second Team. GW's Friday night starter ended the year with seven wins, including four in A-10 play, while pitching to a 3.92 ERA.
