Clint Andereck held the distinction of never batting less than .300 during his six-year career in the Kitty League.

He was the All-Star second baseman for two consecutive seasons (1938-1939) and was unanimously elected by league managers and sportswriters in 1939.

Andereck was also an asset for his defensive skills at second base. He led the league in fielding in 1937 (.962) and 1939 (.961) and finished second in 1938 and 1940. He participated in a triple play while with the Bowling Green Barons in 1940.  

An ankle injury prevented him from climbing higher on the baseball ladder with the Memphis Chicks in 1941.
