Summary
Andre is a speedy left-hander that can play the outfield and be a big help on the mound. His velocity is low to mid 80's, but possesses a variety of off speed pitches, including a "nasty" splitter. However, Andre never had the on-field success that he could have had due to struggles in the classroom. "I became ineligible due to academics. I just had my priorities in the wrong place." Now older and more mature, Andre is only 24 credits shy of finishing his degree in Business Management. He uses his past mistakes as motivation for himself now as well as being an inspiration to others who are having the same struggles. "Since ASU, I have mentored and lectured to younger players of my former teams on the importance of a post-secondary education and making the right decisions in college. Overall, I viewed this as a harsh learning experience and made the most of it by trying to deter other student-athletes from the same path." Andre is an excellent baseball player who can help your team win. But even more importantly, Andre is a living example of hard work and perseverance.
