Coach Corbin Quote: We are very fortunate to have Andrew back for a fifth year. He exemplifies everything we want in a Vanderbilt baseball player. Continually serves other players and the team. His experience, leadership ability and versatility as an infielder, make him a very valuable player in our program. He's the ultimate student-athlete... he's directed, focused and disciplined in every area.
