2027 OF/RHP André Houde is one of the top players in a strong group of 2027 players with the London Badgers and showcased his two-way potential at the Toronto Fall Invite. Lengthy frame with room for strength at 6-foot-4, 175-pounds and generated a top exit velocity of 87.6mph, although we’ve seen the right-handed hitter in the low-90s on multiple occasions. There was arm strength from the outfield position at 87mph and ran a 4.03 30-yard dash. On the mound, the right-hander sat 80-81 T81.8mph and also featured a sweeping slider at 65-67mph and cutter at 73-76mph. Houde put together a strong 2025 campaign and it will be interesting to see where he’s at following an offseason of training and lifting.

MIF/RHP Andre Houde is a 2027 who’s caught our staff’s attention this spring with some size/projection at 6-foot-3, 180-pounds and possesses upside on both sides of the ball. The London Badgers prospect was spraying balls to all fields during his BP and generated a peak exit velocity of 87.7mph (80.8 avg) and was up to 92.1mph at the Toronto New Year Invite back in February. On the positional side, Houde was up to 80mph on the infield and ran a respectable 4.08 30-yard dash. On the mound, the fastball sat in the 80-81mph range and he paired it with a curveball at 58-63mph and changeup at 69-72mph. Overall, there’s plenty to like here as he continues to develop.
Houde is a promising two-way out of the Badgers system. The 6-foot-3, 165-pound right-handed swinging middle infielder swung it well during his two rounds with the stick. Generated a a peak exit velocity of 92.1 mph, and a maximum distance of 294 feet. Conducted the operation efficiently on the turf and clocked in at 80 mph from the infield. Finished the day off with a solid pen. Flashed a three pitch mix (FB, CB, CH) with a heater that sat in the 79-80 mph range. Moves well on the mound for his class and we should the metrics improved with added strength/development. Houde is a prospect in the ‘27 class that has a bright future ahead of him.
