Super 60 (Feb. 5, 2017)
6-foot-2, 200-pound right-handed hitting third baseman, strong, well-proportioned build, broad shoulders, barrel-chested, defined lower half. One of the more unheralded prospects at the Super 60, Hendershot turned in a rock-solid performance, showing potential of being a big power-hitting third baseman. Offensively, hits from a relaxed, athletic setup, uses a pronounced leg lift back, rhythm in hand load, generates advanced bat speed, rotational approach, tendency to spin off, but when on-time, showed big pull-side juice with lift. Ball jumps off the bat. Registered 99 mph exit velocity with wood. Defensively, moves well laterally for his size, shows reliable hands, athleticism in the arm. Throws have on-line carry, 89 mph across the infield. Also ran a 7.12 laser-timed 60.
New York Games (June 27-29, 2016)
Hendershot stands a firm, athletic 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with still room for develop more.Ran a 7.16 60.Offensively, Hendershot stands mostly upright, uses a smooth back-load with a big leg-kick for timing. Hands power quickly inside the ball, plane is mostly level through contact, lift through the finish with long extension. He displays above average bat-speed (100 mph exit) and power to both gaps, more pull-side power currently. Defensively- A corner guy at the next-level with an above average arm (up to 90 mph) with soft-hands and some lateral range. Needs to continue to work on his foot-speed which is average now, but shows the athleticism to improve. Pitching- More raw on the mound, but the signs are all there. 84-87 mph fastball from a quick clean arm-action, the ability to throw a hard curveball, at times showing good feel for locating his off-speed. Only two weeks following the New York Game, the junior from Tioga HS verbally committed to division-one Buffalo.
