Andrew Tichenor
Relief Pitcher | Calgary Remparts
Pitching His sinking two-seam fastball and slider produce tons of groundballs. Tichenor throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Tichenor is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tichenor has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Calgary Remparts have been known to use Tichenor as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook The Calgary Remparts signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Tichenor like a hot potato if something better comes along.
