02/04/2018 - College PREP - Houston, TX Andres is a broad, strong (6'1”, 215) catching prospect who is a wall behind the plate. He is an advanced blocker who slides well laterally to keep everything in front and block to center. His setup is relaxed and athletic and his footwork is active to drop and slide quickly. He receives quietly and with a firm wrist while showing a quick exchange and strong arm to post very low pop times (1.97 seconds). At the plate, his hands are strong on a direct bat path to consistently deliver the barrel and hit the ball hard. He stays balanced throughout his swing and has a strong lower half to show power to all fields. Staying through the ball will lead to more extra base hits. Andres is a talented player with lots of potential on the field.
