“The name LaRoche is soon to become even more familiar to fans who recognize Dave (a former Major League pitcher) and Adam (the Braves first baseman). “Little brother” Andy is now one of the hottest third base prospects in baseball. He has outstanding power and the athleticism that might be expected of a player who was a shortstop until 2004. He’s projected to reach Double A before he turns 22.”
They were right this time. Andy LaRoche reached Double A at the age of 21. He played full time for the Pirates in 2009.
