View Draft Report
Kendrick went to Georgia Tech as a freshman and had a strong summer (4-0, 1.16) in the Alaska League with Anchorage in 2011. He transferred to Northwest Florida State JC as a sophomore, then to Auburn as a junior. Kendrick led the team in ERA (5-3, 2.13) in nine starts and 10 relief outings, though he pitches like a reliever and scouts see him in that role as a professional. His fastball is solid-average at 90-91 mph, and he has a short, late breaking ball that he throws for strikes. His funky delivery gives him deception, but he is prone to leaving balls up.
