In 2006, he was a member of the All-MVC Tournament team,[2] and also pitched 10⅓ innings in two starts for Falmouth in the Cape Cod League, accruing a 1.74 ERA, striking out 14 batters and issuing three walks.[3] In 2007, he finished his third year with a 2.22 ERA in 14 starts and 100 strikeouts in 89 innings.[4] [edit] Washington NationalsThe Washington Nationals drafted him in the first round (sixth overall) in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft, making him the highest Missouri State draft pick in history.[5] Detwiler was the fifth pitcher taken by the Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos franchise in the first round of the draft in the last six years following Clint Everts, Chad Cordero and Bill Bray in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and Colton Willems taken in 2006.[6] During the summer of his freshman year in college Detwiler played for Wentzville Legion Post 323. Detwiler dominated his opponents during the season but still had one loss.[citation needed] .jpg) After being drafted and signed by the Nationals, he pitched four games in the rookie Gulf Coast League, and then five games with the high A Potomac Nationals. On 7 September 2007, he made his major-league debut, pitching one hitless inning in relief against the Atlanta Braves, striking out one.[7] He became the first player drafted in the 2007 Draft to appear in a major-league game.[8] He joined Cordero and Ryan Zimmerman as the third member of the Nationals franchise to be called up to the major leagues in the same year that he was drafted.[5] Detwiler opened the 2009 season with the Harrisburg Senators of the Class AA Eastern League. However, due to the injury of Scott Olsen, he was called up to make his first MLB start on May 18th against the Pirates. He went 5 innings and allowed 3 runs, striking out 6.
