Andrew Nettune is a 2007 right hand hitting catcher from All Saint Episcopal HS, residing in Athens, TX. Nettune has a stock and strong build on his 6'0" 200 lb. frame that looks quite capable of handling the rigors of the catching position. Nettune clearly enjoys being on the field and showed solid all-around ability to get himself ranked #56 among PG National Top 100 position players. Hitting from a square stance, Nettune set up at the plate somewhat in the manner that Mark McGwire did, with narrow knees and and upright bat. He was pretty short to the ball and his swing showed that he is quite strong. Nettune kept his bat flat pretty flat through the zone and showed that he has a chance to hit for some power from gap to gap. He consistently got the barrel to the ball. With average bat speed, Nettune creates his power with good timing and balance at contact, along with his strength. As for his defensive abilities, Nettune seemed to be in control of himself on the field. He showed a patient transfer from glove to hand when he threw and has an arm with some carry. Though his arm strength is good average, he gives consistency in the catch/throw department with his accuracy and will get his fair share of runners. He enjoys throwing and was stalking an opportunity for outs via the backpick. Nettune also showed pretty well at times as a receiver and brought energy to the position. He ran 4.64 home/1st and posted a laser timed 7.03 60. Nettune is a D1 catching prospect that should has quite a bit of success with the aluminum bat and likely will earn himself a professional opportunity after his college career.

Nettune came up from Texas looking to earn a spot in the Perfect Game National Showcase and he did that easily. Nettune has top level all around tools. His arm strength is very good, throwing 81 mph in drills and registering pop times of 1.89 in drills and 1.93 in games. He is a high energy catcher who received the ball well and showed nice blocking skills. Nettune is a 6.91 runner and his lower body life and quickness is evident in his catching. Offensively, Nettune has good coil and gets himself in position to hit. He has very good bat speed and the ball jumps hard on contact. Nettune drove some balls hard to left field and showed his power potential. He did a nice job staying back on breaking balls and showed signs that he is a polished all around hitter. Nettune is a national level catching prospect who should be heavily recruited. He's also a good student.

Andrew Nettune is a 2007 catcher from All Saint Episcopal in Athens, TX, with a 6'0'', 205 lb. frame. He is a strong and durable catcher who is good offensively and defensively. Behind the plate he has very good arm strength (79 mph) with plus accuracy and a good release that will help shut down opposing team's running games. Nettune's footwork is advanced and he moves well laterally blocking balls in the dirt while centering them on his chest. He has soft hands and handles top pitching with ease. Offensively, he is a right handed hitter who hits from a straight away stance and a wide base. Nettune loads his hands well, and shows very good bat speed through the zone. At the point of contact, Nettune gets great leverage which allows him to drive the ball and show his raw power. The ball really jumps off his bat and he will crush the fastball. Nettune also showed the ability to use the whole field and looks like a hitter who will hit for average and power at the next level. He is a must follow, and is a good student as well.
