Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Nolan Kendall’s brother, INF/RHP Caden Kendall (Andrew, 2026), came away one of the event’s biggest winners with a strong showing both as a position player and as an arm. Listed at 5-foot-10, 167-pounds, Kendall has some athleticism throughout his build while holding room to add on strength in the coming years. On the mound, Kendall has a controlled leg lift into balance point, working with a tall/fall lower-half that remains in-line down the mound. His arm plays with a long reach in the back before transitioning into a ¾ slot with some quickness out front. There’s still more left in the tank mechanically with Kendall, and he could see some jumps as he matures. His fastball played in the 83-86 mph range with running action to his arm-side, averaging over 14” with up to 17.6” of run. His go-to secondary was a big-breaking curveball that played with gradual action and 11/5 shape, sitting around 61-63 mph. His final offering was a running changeup with a similar profile to his fastball, sitting 69-72 mph with over 14” of run at times. Offensively, he operates with easy effort from the right side of the plate with quick hands, present twitch and bat speed while staying direct to the ball with a line-drive approach. Kendall’s furthest batted ball traveled 318’ while averaging 82.4 mph off the bat, T92.9 mph.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 167-pounds. Well-proportioned frame.
Hit: RHH. Wider slightly open stance, minimal load. Easy, quick hands, present twitch and bat speed, stays direct and through the zone, line-drive approach. 68.6 mph bat speed with 13 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 82.4 mph. 318’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 86 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Steady hands, fields through mid-section, ranged with pace, length through release.
Run: 7.36 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 167-pounds. Well-proportioned frame.
Delivery: Clean, controlled delivery, medium leg lift, tall/fall lower-half, works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Long reach in the back, 3/4 release with quickness out front.
FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Life out of the hand, heavy run to the arm-side. T2015, 1875 average rpm.
CB: 61-63 mph. Gradual 11/5 shape with depth, slurvy action. T2012, 1907 average rpm.
CH: 70-72 mph. Slight fade to the arm-side. T1502, 1293 average rpm.
Kendall is a dynamic player that showed athleticism on both sides of the ball on Thursday morning. On the mound, he attacked hitters with a quick arm and a fastball that got up to 80 mph. Also mixed in a sharp breaking ball that generated swings and misses. At the plate, Kendall had an aggressive approach and showed natural power, slugging two doubles to left-center field.
