ANDREW WRIGHT, 6-4, 200, LHP (Cathedral Catholic HS)
A two-year letter-winner for Cathedral Catholic High School, Wright helped the Dons to back-to-back CIF Championships. Wright competed for the Milwaukee Brewers Area Code Team, the Pro-Scout All-StarTeam and the Perfect Game World Series Tournament Team in 2012. A standout student, Wright is a three-time honor roll selection and served as the lead editor for Cathedral Catholic Television. Active in community service projects, Wright traveled to the Dominican Republic and donated baseball equipment and conducted clinics in addition to multiple service projects in the San Diego area.

Why Wright Chose Pepperdine: “I wanted to attend a school that would prepare me for my future; my dream is to be a professional baseball player. I believed that Pepperdine University would give me the best opportunity to make my future as successful as possible with its academic and athletic prestige.”

Coach Rodriguez on Wright: “Andrew is going to fill a great role for us as a big left-handed pitcher. He is still developing as a pitcher and he should be a big impact guy for us his freshman year. With our strength and conditioning program, I would expect Andrew to blossom in big ways like Noah Lowry did here.”
