Oregon high school righthander Ian Kendall flew under the radar this spring. He comes from Ashland High, which is as close to Sacramento as it is to Portland and did not play on the summer showcase circuit. But scouts that made the trek discovered a diamond in the rough. Kendall, listed at 6 feet and 205 pounds, was 91-95 mph this spring and showed an above-average power curveball and flashes of an above-average changeup. Kendall has a clean arm action and great work ethic. An Oregon State commit, Kendall was selected highly enough that he'll have a tough decision to make this summer.
