Andrew Burton Cashner (born September 11, 1986) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played in MLB for the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins.
Cashner was born and raised in Conroe, Texas. His father, Jeff, runs a family mortuary business while his mother, Jane, is a seamstress. The second of three children, he grew up on a 15-acre (6.1 ha) ranch where he became expert at horseback riding and calf roping, and was involved in the local 4-H and Future Farmers of America youth organizations. He began playing baseball during his childhood, practicing with his brother and mother on a regulation-size baseball diamond which his parents constructed on their property.
He graduated Conroe High School in 2005 and was drafted by the Atlanta Braves, but decided to attend college instead. He attended Angelina College and Texas Christian University. He was drafted in college by the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs, but only accepted the latter team's second offer when they made him a first-round draft pick.
Cashner was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the first round, 19th overall, in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft out of Texas Christian University. He was rated the Cubs fourth best prospect prior to the 2010 season by Baseball America. Throughout three minor league seasons in the Cubs organization Cashner only gave up three home runs.
