#9 Reliever: Robbie Andrews

Time to resume our top 10 list for relievers!  Our #9 pitcher, Robbie Andrews, a sophomore at VCU, was the main closer for the Covington Lumberjacks in 2007. He finished the summer season 4-2, 2.45, with 5 saves, a 1.05 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9, 10.2 K/9, and .173 opponent's  batting average in 22 innings.

Andrews came up especially big in the first round of the playoffs against Harrisonburg. He saved the first two games (both 4-1 Lumberjack wins), throwing 2 1/3 shutout innings, giving up 2 hits, 0 walks, and striking out 4. 

At VCU as a freshman, Andrews went 2-0, 1.50, with a 1.50 WHIP, 4.5 BB/9, and 3.5 K/9 in only 18 innings.  The sample size is very small, but the BB/9 is high, while the K/9 is low. He turned those rates around in the Valley League in the summer- hopefully, he'll have an excellent spring season in Richmond!
