Redman continued his success on the mound in college. At Iowa Central, Andrew compiled a 12-8 record over two years and was an all-conference selection both years. His ERA was 2.05 over those two years. At Clarke, Andrew set multiple records on the mound and was a first-team MCC pitcher his junior year. As a redshirt senior, He went 6-2 with a 1.68 ERA but his batting is what brought him to a national spotlight. In his only collegiate year of hitting, he batted .425 with 62 hits, 9 HR’s and 50 RBI’s. His accolades for this year are as follows:
- MCC Player of the Year
- Gold Glove (Pitching)
- 2nd Team Academic All-American
- Honorable Mention All-American
Coach Spain on Redman: “Red not only brings in a vast knowledge on the mound, but also has proven himself as someone with an advanced understanding of hitting. As difficult as it is to do much more for this program, I anticipate he will be an even better coach as he has been as a player. He has had a major role in this program as a leader since the day he stepped on campus, which insures that his transition into a coaching role will be very natural for him.”

Razo came to Clarke from Culver-Stockton College, where he spent the 2019 season as the Wildcats’ assistant baseball coach and recruiting coordinator. He was assistant coach for Top Speed Baseball in the Golden State Collegiate Baseball League during the summer of 2019.
