January 13, 2025
As we enter 2025, Prep Baseball Washington continues our offseason series of Uncommitted Spotlights, highlighting standout performers that attended a Prep Baseball showcase event in 2024. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
This week, we spotlight 2026 infielder Caden Andreas. The 5'9, 150 pound righty attended multiple Prep Baseball events in 2024, including the Central Washington Preseason ID and PNW State Games.
A multi-sport athlete out of Ridgeline High School, Andreas features a balanced, tight right-handed swing and smooth defensive actions. Andreas ran a 6.96 60-yard dash time, rounding out his overall game well. Below is a complete breakdown of the player, including scouting reports and video from Prep Baseball events.
