C Nolan Kendall (Andrew) is an upside backstop to note from the event. Listed at 5-foot-10, 158-pounds, he has a lean, wiry frame with all sorts of room to add on strength in the coming years. A left-handed hitter, he boasts some well above-average BLAST metrics with an average hand-speed of 24.1 mph, average bat-speed of 68.3 mph and an average rotational acceleration of 27.7 Gs. He has a quick, flat swing that stays on-plane, looking to keep the ball on a line while proving to be comfortable using the whole field. He’s an athletic defender behind the plate, actively blocking up the baseball and showing the ability to limit the run game.
Positional Profile: C/OF
Body: 5-10, 148.6-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Wide, slightly crouched stance, small up/down leg lift. Twitchy, flat path through the zone, works all fields. 68.2 mph bat speed with 27 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 87.2 mph. 340’ max distance. Finished gameplay 2-for-5 with an RBI, run scored and a walk.
Arm: RH. C - 75 mph. Compact arm action, over-the-top slot.
Defense: 2.09-2.15 pop times. Squatted stance, clean transfer, gains ground to target.
Run: 7.18 runner in the 60.
An athletic, 5-foot-0, 161-pound frame, Kendall had an all-around game Sunday night. The left-handed hitter went 2-for-3 with two singles. The first single was a hustle play as he beat out a hard ground ball to the shortstop, while the second single was an oppo barrel to left. He sets up in a wide stance and has a quick bat that keeps the barrel in the zone, with the ability to go either way with the ball. Behind the plate, Kendall is athletic and moves well with soft hands.
Nolan Kendall (Andrew, 2026), who’s brother is mentioned below as a two-way standout, came away from the event as a left-handed hitting outfielder to follow. After running a laser-timed 7.32 60, Nolan recorded the fourth highest average exit velocity of the event at 86.6 mph. It is a loose, quick swing that flashes whip and flick through the zone while staying flat with a whole field approach. Kendall led the event with a 23.8 mph average hand speed and his 28.1 g average rotational acceleration was second best of the event.
Positional Profile: C/OF
Body: 5-10, 160-pounds. High-waisted, athletic frame.
Hit: LHH. Wide setup, quiet fluid load and short stride. Loose hands, creates bat speed and whip through contact. Flat through the zone and whole field, line drive approach. 68.4 mph bat speed with 28 G’s of rotational acceleration.

Arm: RH. C - 78 mph. OF - 83 mph. OF: Long arm action, over-the-top slot. C: Short arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: 2.16-2.19 pop times. OF: Plays with pace, quick feet, gets around the baseball, clean release. C: Quiet receiver, soft hands. Gains ground out of the crouch.
