Very solid player that has a future at the next level. Not a flashy player but very efficient and has a well-rounded skill set. Good athlete that proved to be an above average runner. Looked the part in the infield, showing an above average skill set across the board. Very sure-handed with the ability to make plays on the move. Ideal second baseman skill set. At the plate he has athletic movements to loading sequence that create energy and balance. More pop than you’d expect from his second baseman frame. Ball jumps off bat and he showed the ability to find the barrel often. Gap to gap pop.

5-foot-9, 168 pound middle infielder showed soft hands in the field. Tennie’s feet moved well with good speed as he took good angles to the ball and set himself up for good throws by getting around it, feet set and locked into his target. He threw 81 mph across the diamond displaying a stronger arm with accuracy. Offensively, Tennie gets into a strong launch position ready to attack pitches. His swing was level and smooth and produces good power. Produced a 91 mph exit velocity. He creates good separation and generates positive momentum which leads to his consistent swing and overall very good results.

5-foot-9, 168 pound right handed hitting middle infielder showed a well-balanced stance with a shorter, inside out swing with great power as he recorded an 88 mph exit velocity which was second-best at the event. Tennie needs to improve keeping his front side intact longer on outside pitches as he pulls off and doesn’t fully utilize his power the other way. He displayed his running ability with a 4.09 down the line from home to first. Defensively, Tennie threw 80 across the diamond with accuracy while showing off his clean footwork by taking good angles to get around the ball. His glovework looked good, just needs to focus on extending through the ball. He shows plenty of tools that can be developed further to play at a higher level in college.
