MLB Draft 2017 profile: Jeren Kendall, first round

Related Topics: Strikeout

Name: Jeren Kendall

School: Vanderbilt

What he’s good at right now: Kendall has 80-grade speed and plenty of speed production on offense. His speed is put to use in centerfield, where he will also show a 70-grade arm. A twitchy athlete, Kendall has outstanding power production for an up the middle player and presently grades above average in raw power. His plus bat speed and the impact he can put on the baseball should make him productive offensively even with some contact concerns.

What he can be good at in the future: Kendall’s future power grade of 60 gives him four easy plus tools.
