Another senior, Kendall came on late for the Bulldogs. Mostly used in the bullpen, he was moved to the rotation late in the year and pitched a near complete game in the last series of the year (he came in out of the bullpen for the second batter of the game after the starter got hurt and pitched the rest of the way) and then a complete game in the Western Athletic Conference tournament. Kendall has a 6-foot-2, 210-pound frame. He overhauled his delivery last summer, which gave him a little more velocity on his fastball. The pitch now sits in the 91-93 mph range and touches 95 with heavy sinking life. He still needs to develop his secondary pitches, a changeup and a cutter.
