Clean mover with some polish to the delivery. Some strength to the proportional, 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame. Athletic move down the slope with soft, square land. Compact arm on the backside, gets over the frontside well as the arm quickens to the front. 4S fastball played at 84-86, touching 87, with 16" of vertical break and up to 19.7". Spun an average slider at 72-75 with a tighter look. Some armside sink/fade on an upper-70s change. Controlled all three at an above average clip with a chance to start due to the 3 distinct, usable shapes, control, and athleticism.
Athletic, 6-foot, 185 pound frame w body control - also catches. Gradually builds tempo and intent with athletic delivery and loose, quick arm that follows. The arm gets to a full circle and comes out at a high 3/4 slot with an 84-86 fastball. He showed some feel to land a softer, sweeping slider at 67-71 and showed quality fade on a 70-73 change to round out three usable pitches in the arsenal. In total, Kenjic showed above average feel & holds starters' upside.
Connor Kenjic (Hobart, IN) and Brody Lindemann (Belleville East) were two of the top catchers who also have ability and stuff on the mound. Both are two-way follows moving forward.
