Federico Tanco is one of the rare Argentinian players to make it to Organized Baseball.
Tanco debuted in OB in 2005 with the Florida/Washington team in the Venezuelan Summer League, going 0-3 with a 4.34 ERA and 22 walks in 29 innings. In 2006, he was 2-5 with a 2.59 ERA for the DSL Nationals 2, striking out 38 in 41 2/3 innings. Tanco turned it up a few notches in 2007; he pitched two games for the DSL Nationals 2 but spent most of the season helping the DSL Nationals 1 to the Dominican Summer League pennant. He struck out 89 in 65 innings while walking only nine and had a 6-1, 1.52 record.
Tanco was 1-2 with two saves and a 4.43 ERA for the 2008 GCL Nationals, striking out 24 in 22 1/3 IP. In '09, he went 1-1 with a 2.39 ERA in 19 games for the Vermont Lake Monsters. He helped Argentina win a Bronze Medal at the 2010 South American Games in an upset over the Dutch Antilles. He gave up just one run in seven against the Antilles in the 2010 Pan American Games Qualifying Tournament, as Argentina again pulled out a win.
