In this episode, Erik Oas offers a full report on the Clinton LumberKings. J.D. Osborne, Jerar Encarnación and Connor Scott are each swinging a hot bat. Then, Marlins 2018 draftee Tanner Andrews joins the podcast (10:40) to talk about coming from a small town in Indiana, the role of other sports in his development, developing his arsenal of pitches (21:45) and working to become a starting pitcher. He also explains how fellow Purdue pitcher Nick Wittgren influenced his career plans (23:30).
Enjoy Episode 10 of A-Ball!
Andrews has made 20 career appearances (five starts) since being selected by the Marlins in the 10th round last June.
