Veenendall is another catcher to watch, a 5-foot-11 sophomore who can play both ways. At the plate, he showcased a short, quick swing with explosive rotation to get to his power. His swing includes a bit of loft that could enable him to drive the ball in the air more often. His 93 mph max exit velocity was the one of the highest of the Eau Claire showcase. Veenendall put on a solid showing defensively. His 74 mph throwing velocity from behind the plate and 1.94 seconds pop time both were among the best of the event. Look for Veenendall to have a big year as he continues to mature behind the plate.
