David
Andolina

Lehigh commit, currently ranked No. 107 in Illinois’ 2022 class. Strong-bodied frame, 6-foot, 190-pounds with wide shoulders and a developed lower-half. Arm plays quick to release from a ¾ to high ¾ slot, short draw out of the glove. His delivery is repeatable with simple movement patterns, also moving athletically down the mound. Andolina showcased an impressive fastball in his sole inning of work; sitting 88-89 mph with obvious feel for his glove side - hitting the corner routinely with some life working back to the plate. He also flashed a lone breaking ball at 75 mph, missed up in the zone but there was clear biting action, 11/5 shape and thrown with aggression.
