LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 California Underclass Showcase
Karlan Andrews is a 2008 MIF with a 5'11'', 165 lb. frame from Visalia CA, who attends Redwood HS. He has a lean, wiry body type, on a medium frame that has some room to continue to naturally fill out. Andrews is a player that looks to be on the verge of breaking out. There is a lot he can do on the field in terms of his physical ability and he also showed good feel for the game, both at the plate and in the field. His hands work well in all aspects. Offensively Andrews has a line drive stroke and a quick bat that is short to the ball. He has a little pop in his bat and looks to be a doubles/gap hitter in the future. A slight lift in his swing suggests a hint of some future power. Defensively Andrews showed some actions and played defense with feel. He has good feet and a quick release, which ups his throwing grade higher than his raw arm strength would warrant. Future strength gains will enhance his hitting, throwing, and running and if all comes together like it should, Andrews will be a pretty heavily recruited middle infielder. He is a good student too.
