Scouting Report
Hitting

The fly balls seem to carries a little further than most ball players. Though, Formica can get into trouble in the leagues by trying to pull too many outside pitches. When batting with runners in scoring position, Andrew Formica can show little patience at times and has a tendency to drop his hands. That said; Formica is working hard to become a more patient, and a more disciplined hitter at the plate. His contact rate actually isn’t too much of a concern, but he needs to get that walk rate up. He has excellent hand-eye coordination that will allow him to consistently square up on pitches. Formica is a marvelous hitter whom the organization knows can be one of the league’s best.
Base-Running & Defense

Formica is a plus infield defender with a very strong arm. He’s light on his feet, and possesses terrific footwork.

His speed and athleticism allows him to cover vast amounts of turf and puts himself in position to attempt plays. He has an excellent arm, and can make it look better with good positioning and a quick release.
