There’s a lot to like about RHP Cole Kenyon (Lake Zurich), standing in at an athletic 6-foot-2, 163-pound frame with upside. He tossed 1 ⅔ innings, striking out three, walking two and allowing no runs or hits in his stint. His fastball sat in the mid-80s and topped out at 88.6 mph with quality spin (avg. 2361 rpm) He also showed an impressive slider that had the highest average and max spin rates from the entire event, being recorded at 2855 rpm and 2932 rpm, respectively, while also playing with big horizontal movement (-18.3” avg. HM). He remains a must-know uncommitted arm in Illinois.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-2, 162.7-pounds.
Delivery: Easy mover; rhythm in delivery, medium leg-lift, tall/fall, works in-line down the mound, level shoulders with a slightly closed landing foot.
Arm Action: RH. Whippy 3/4 arm action, loose arm swing. Struck out three against two walks in 1.2 innings of work.
FB: T89, 84-87 mph. Run with carry up in the zone; explosive with easy velocity. T2474, 2361 average rpm.
SL: 73-76 mph. Late sharp break; 2900+ rpm; consistent whiffs throughout outing. T2932, 2855 average rpm.
RHP Cole Kenyon (Lake Zurich, 2025) is another upside arm to know from Saturday, and he displayed the best spin-rates we saw all weekend. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound right-hander starts his arsenal with a fastball in the 85-87 mph range, spinning between 2300-2400 RPM with carry through the zone. His breaking balls are where we really see the spin take off, with his curveball coming in over 3,000 RPM at times, averaging 2,992 RPM and playing with sharp, 11/5 shape and depth. His slider has similar spin, topping out over 3,000 RPM with an average of 2,989 RPM, playing with more lateral action and late bite.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-2, 165-pounds. Sloped shoulders, lean and projectable frame, high waist.
Delivery: Controlled into a medium leg lift, slight drop/drive lower-half, keeps bend in the back knee throughout stride, stride works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Long/loose arm swing into a 3/4 release.
FB: T87, 85-87 mph. Plays with life and jump out of the hand, high-spin with carry. T2463, 2382 average rpm.
CB: 73-74 mph. Plus spin, sharp downer 11/5 shape with depth, late action, profiles off fastball at the top of the zone. T3074, 2992 average rpm.
SL: 75-76 mph. Plus spin, sharp lateral break, 10/4 shape, late bite. T3037, 2989 average rpm.
CH: 82-83 mph. Plays with heavy run to the arm-side. T1901, 1847 average rpm.
Stands in at 6-foot-1, 145-pounds with plenty of room to fill out. Kenyon was impressive out of the bullpen in this look. The righty showed a five mph jump in fastball velocity from when we last saw him in February. Kenyon worked with a two-pitch mix including an 84-86 mph fastball that also had spin rates anywhere from 2100-2300 rpm. Kenyon also threw a sharp slider that had spin rates of over 2700 rpm. Kenyon struck out two in his one inning of work.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 5-11, 143-pounds. Thin frame. Plenty of room for continued growth.
Delivery: Stretch only. Works on line. Level shoulders. Front side opens early at times.
Arm Action: LH. Long arm action, high 3/4 arm slot.
FB: T75.9, 74.7-75.9 mph. Plays Straight. T2081, 1985 average rpm.
CB: 64.4-66.1 mph. 11/5 shape. Depth. Able to locate for strikes. T2553, 2448 average rpm.
SL: 64.2-66.3 mph. 10/4 shape. T2463, 2422 average rpm.
CH: 69.4-70.6 mph. Plays straight. T1806, 1750 average rpm.
For a freshman, RHP Cole Kenyon (Lake Zurich, 2025) demonstrated an especially impressive and mature four-pitch mix. The projectable 5-foot-11, 143-pound right-hander works from the stretch exclusively, utilizing a drop/drive lower-half down the mound before transitioning into a loose and whippy high ¾ arm action. His fastball sat 75-76 mph with some life through the zone while setting up two different breaking balls. The first being a curveball with 11/5 shape at 64-66 mph that he was able to control around the zone, showing depth while spinning at 2,500 rpm, a high mark for a player his age which typically signals a positive sign for the future. His slider profiled somewhat similarly, though it featured shorter action that he also landed for strikes. Kenyon's changeup featured sink/fade at 69-71 mph that he located down in the zone effectively.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-1, 145-pounds. Athletic, wiry frame with room for added strength.
Delivery: Controlled delivery, simple, medium balance point, drop and drive lower-half.
Arm Action: RH. Long and loose arm swing into a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T81, 80-81 mph. Life through the zone with finish. T2205, 2159 average rpm.
CB: 69-70 mph. Sharp 11/5 action with late bite, above-average spin. T2686, 2628 average rpm.
SL: 70-72 mph. Sharp 10/4 action, late break with above-average spin. T2628, 2600 average rpm.
CH: 75-77 mph. Thrown with intent, late fade to the arm-side. T1841, 1765 average rpm.
