- Kendrick is a 6-3, 205 pound righty. The 25 year old has a medium frame that is long and lanky and can probably get up to about 220 if so desired. He came from a high 3/4 release in a classic drop and drive delivery that doesn't have any obvious red flags. He pauses quite a few times in the motion, which probably makes it difficult to repeat the mechanics consistently. His fastball is a sinker that has some run in on righties and some sink. His change has some fade from lefties and above average sink that he will throw to righties. His cutter has solid cutting action and that is the pitch we call a slider. # 4 or # 5 starter is his upside and he needs to continue to refine his off-speed offerings, as he has a tendency to leave them up in the zone.

- Josh Thole is a 6-1, 205 pound catcher. The 22 year old lefty hitter, righty thrower has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle. He has a somewhat built lower half, but can add more muscle to it. He has a straight on, slap-hitter like stance with a little lean back on his back leg. His entire body is moving in a circle as he awaits the pitcher to begin his windup. His trigger is a hard step and a cocking of the bat. He is slightly choked up on the bat, sacrifing himself some power for some bat control. Slap hitter that is content with hitting a little line drive to the opposite field. He shows a little pull power, but is never going to hit more then 5 home runs in a season. Likely a back-up catcher along the lines of Greg Myers.
