Top-10 Profiles of 2020: No. 7 Kendall Diggs
December 21, 2020
As the year starts to unwind, our staff will start to highlight the top-10 most viewed profiles from 2020 - starting at 10 and counting down.
Our seventh most viewed profile of 2020 is St. Thomas Acquinas OF Kendall Diggs, the second-highest ranked prospect in the state’s 2021 class and ranked No. 64 nationally. A former PBR Future Gamer, Diggs has an intriguing overall ceiling as one of the toolsiest prospects in the Midwest. He boasts advanced straight line speed, running a 6.78 60-yard dash at PBR Midwest Pro Day this September. There’s also some advanced pull-side juice harnessed within his left-handed stroke and he’ll just need to consistently tap into it to be an impact offensive threat at the next level.
An Arkansas commit, Diggs could make some serious strides under one of college baseball’s best player development programs as a whole. His overall skill-set, however, could also garner some professional and draft interest, which makes him someone to monitor as the high school season approaches. Diggs is scheduled to attend the Super 60 in February, where we’ll get another up close look at his skills.
