12/16/2012 - College PREP - Lewiston, ME Kendel is a junior shortstop with a thin frame. Defensively, he has soft/sure hands, and an accurate arm. He needs to be more aggressive with his first step and play lower in his fielding position. Offensively, he has a square/tall setup and is aggressive attacking the zone. He tracks the ball decently and has a level swing path. Utilizing his lower half, while keeping his front hip closed will help his hitting ability. In all, we believe Kendel needs to be versatile enough to play second base as well and with another year to continue improving; he has the time to make himself into a prospect.
