#10 Reliever: Andrew White

Our #10 reliever in the Valley League is Andrew White, a junior at Charleston Southern, who threw for Winchester in 2007. A lefty, White threw very well for the Royals, combining excellent control with the ability to make batters miss. He finished at 3-2, 2.51, with 3 saves, a 0.94 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9, 9.7 K/9, and .202 opponent's batting average in 28 2/3 innings pitched.

White has progressed nicely in his two years at CSU. As a freshman, he went 0-3, 4.50, with a 1.81 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9, and 3.3 K/9 in 22 innings. In 2007, as a sophomore, Andrew went 0-1, 2.80, with 1 save, a 1.47 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9, and 6.9 K/9 in 35 1/3 innings (in 19 games- 1 start). His 2.80 ERA led the team.

On November 3rd, White started a game in CSU's "Banana Split" series, in which the team was split into two squads to play each other. White threw 5 shutout innings, giving up only 5 hits. Will he pitch in the rotation this spring, or out of the bullpen again?
