Biography:
Andy Russell, a sophomore outfielder was an everyday starter as a freshmen and hit .313 and slugged just under .500. According to Head Coach Sean Leary, "Andy has a chance to be a .350+
guy for us the next three seasons and become one of our school's all-time best hitters. He is lefty hitter with some pop. He has double digit HR potential and drives the ball gap to gap."
Leary went on to add that Andy is a 6.95 runner with average to above average arm strength. Andy was our #4 hitter last year and should be #3 or 4 the rest his Lehigh career. Andy played his '08 summer in the ACBL and hit .341 and had 9 2Bs, 2 3Bs and HR earning an a spot in the league's All-Star game.
Leary also said, " for the past 14 years, I've had the pleasure of coaching some very talented players and offensively Andy projects to be a player that would rank as one of the top players I will have coached."
Clemons said that "Our scouting reports indicate that Russell is as good an individual as he is a baseball player and that's the type of young man we want representing Victoria. This past summer he was selected as one of 8 players in the ACBL to be honored with a sportsmanship award."
This spring Andy was named to the All Patriot League team after leading LeHigh with a .348 average. 13 doubles in 48 games.
