Andrew went on to play as a four-year starter at Rutgers University-Camden and continued his journey in independent baseball, gaining invaluable insights that now inform his coaching philosophy. Over the past decade, he has served as a pitching coach at both Holy Ghost Prep and Bucks County Community College.
In this episode, Lihotz talks about his playing career, interest in building a sustainable baseball program, and the purpose behind the Philly Select Baseball League.
