Andrew Rivas brings steady left-handed pop, disciplined at-bats, and reliable first-base value for UC Riverside
In the 2026 season, Andrew Rivas has been a consistent piece for UC Riverside at first base, appearing in 42 games with 28 starts and adding extra-base punch plus situational value, including multi-hit games and multiple multi-RBI outings. He’s a left-handed bat with a patient approach and enough contact skill to keep innings alive, which matters for a lineup that needs table-setters and glue guys. Beyond the box score, he’s also a respected student-athlete and honor-roll type, the kind of steady, low-drama fit coaches love when they want dependable production and mature presence.
