Andrew Raymond brings left-handed pop and proven contact to the Bulldogs' catcher mix
Raymond is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound left-handed hitter who flashed impact production in the 2026 season at Mississippi State, batting .348 with 2 homers, 3 doubles, and 9 RBIs in 22 games, after posting a strong 2025 debut at George Mason (.287 with 5 homers and 33 RBIs). His differentiators are offensive consistency, on-base ability, and mature plate discipline for a sophomore backstop, with national-interest upside for a team needing a catcher who can contribute right away. He also entered the transfer portal after the 2026 season, so roster fit and retention matter as much as talent.
