Luis Atilano

Luis A. Atilano (born May 10, 1985 in Santurce, Puerto Rico) is a North American professional baseball player. He is a right-handed pitching prospect in the Washington Nationals organization. Selected by the Atlanta Braves in the first round of the 2003 amateur draft, Atilano was traded to the Nationals on August 31, 2006, for veteran utilityman Daryle Ward.

Atilano spent the beginning of the 2006 season pitching for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the high A-level Carolina League, where he accrued a win-loss record of 6-7 and an ERA of 4.50 in 18 starts and 1 relief appearance. After struggling at the beginning of the season, he went 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA in July. He pitched two complete games for Myrtle Beach during 2006, but an elbow injury suffered in early August ended his season.

During the offseason, Atilano lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
