Andrew Bash

Bash logged a 1.98 ERA as California Baptist’s Sunday starter this season and started at third base or right field on days he didn’t pitch. Teams are split whether they like Bash more as a pitcher as a hitter. On the mound Bash sits 87-91 mph and throws four pitches for strikes, including a high-spin curveball, a high-spin slider and an improving cutter. Optimistic evaluators think his velocity will increase if he just focuses on pitching. As a position player Bash is an above-average defender at third base and right field with a plus arm. He has above-average raw power but regressed as a hitter this spring. He projects best as a right fielder if he can re-discover his hitting stroke, with some comparing him to Dodgers outfielder Kyle Garlick.
