Ian Anderson | RHP
Background
Anderson, 18, attends Shenendehowa High School up near Albany. He impressed with Team USA’s 18-and-under team last summer, but it wasn’t until this past weekend that he was able to pitch in an official game this spring. Poor weather, a bout with pneumonia, and a minor oblique problem delayed the start of Anderson’s season. He’s committed to Vanderbilt.
Scouting Report
Anderson is one of those high-upside prep arms who checks all the right boxes. He has size and a projectable frame (6-foot-3 and 180 lbs.), good velocity (sits 91-94 mph and has touched 96), an out pitch (power curveball), and enough command to pitch effectively on both sides of the plate.
