Jeren Kendall Named National, SEC Player of the Week After Cannibalizing San Diego

Jeren Kendall put up weekend numbers that would have looked unrealistic in a video game. As a result, he's 2016's first SEC Player of the Week.

In the easiest SEC vote since Bobby Johnson was named "most likely football coach to use 'peaches' in place of a cuss word," Jeren Kendall has been named the conference's Player of the Week after dismantling San Diego this weekend. The sophomore outfielder batted .667, hit three home runs, stole five bases, scored seven runs, and drove in 10 runs in a sweep of the Toreros. No. 3 Vanderbilt outscored their opponent by an aggregate score of 38-11 to open its 2016 season.
