I went to college with Andy's dad. I expect big things from Andy once he hits UT.

Andy Hillis

Andy Hillis RHP Brentwood, Tenn. (Brentwood)

-Rated by PGCrosschecker.com as the No. 118 ranked overall prospect in the country

-No. 2 ranked prospect in the state of Tennessee

-No. 1 ranked pitcher in the state of Tennessee

-Participated in East Coast Professional Showcase in Lakeland, Fla. sponsored by MLB

Raleigh on Hillis: “Andy has tremendous upside. He can throw the ball really hard with a lot of velocity. His best days are ahead of him. We feel like he is one of the best pitchers in the state of Tennessee. I think that Andy has a great future.”

Signing these top prospects always seems bittersweet, considering the MLB draft is held 2 months before they step on campus. Hope he chooses college.

I don't think his dad will let him consider otherwise. At least not right out of the gate. I do remember his dad saying that he was going to be Andy's Manager when he play's pro ball ever since Andy was born!

Ask his dad, if the postman was around 6'5 or 6'6 when Andy was born.......
