Standout catcher Andrew Root signed with Berea College today. Turned down a few football offers to go with his first love baseball. Congratulations to a very fine young man!

Congrats to Andrew. Got to see him play some football over the last couple of years and he has the heart of a giant. A real team player. Got to see his brother catch while in high school and Andrew was just as good if not better. Best of luck Andrew....

Yeah was really surprised he chose baseball, but probably shouldn't have been. He showed he had a live arm a number of times this year, especially throwing out three in a row attempting to steal against Corbin. He has the grit and moxie to really excell in college, and the kid just doesn't strike out, only 4 times all season. I think Berea is really getting a kid with a ton of potential. The thing I liked best was him saying he chose Berea for the educational opportunity. I think he had like a 27 or 28 on the ACT and close to a 4.0 in the classroom, so Berea is getting not only a stellar athelete, but a good student as well! Congrats Andrew, look to see you continue to make the Burg proud.
