12/04/2011 - College PREP - McCook (Chicago), IL Wendell is a solid and athletic looking two way player that will graduate in 2013. Defensively at first base, he shows soft hands, active feet, proper footwork around the bag and makes accurate throws to his target. At the plate, he shows an athletic stance, short stride, balance throughout the swing and makes good use of his lower half. He has good bat speed showing the ability to drive the ball to the gaps. He can develop a better pre-pitch load with using his lower half and getting more extension through the pitch to continue to build backspin on the ball for more carry. On the mound, he shows a repeatable delivery with a clean arm circle and command of his fastball. He has good arm side run to the fastball keeping it low in the zone with a finished delivery. He needs to continue to develop his curveball and keep his elbow high on all pitches. Wendell has some tools to work with and will continue to improve with a few minor changes to polish his game.
