Cornell lefty Andrew Houghton brings strikeout upside and proven command growth
Andrew Houghton is a tall, projectable left-handed pitcher with experience at UMass and Cornell, and his most eye-catching trait is bat-missing ability: in his 2024 freshman season at UMass, he struck out 11 hitters in 7.2 innings, including a five-strikeout outing at Siena. Cornell’s roster notes also show he’s a former captain and all-league performer at Phillips Exeter, which suggests maturity and competitiveness beyond the box score. He looks like a fit for a staff that values strike-throwing upside, mound composure, and a lefty who can still develop into a more complete college arm.
