Kendall Bayer
NSR 2013 softball prospect, Kendal Bayer, is a first baseman and outfielder from Howell High School in Howell, Michigan. This past Saturday she had what could easily be characterized as a showstopper-type experience as she stacked up some extraordinary stats at the Fred Pieper Memorial Softball Tourney. The 5’6″ multi-talented player, who last year was selected to be in the “The Best in USSSA Fastpitch Softball” 2011 Edition, went 9 for 11 on Saturday with a home run, triple, double and 9 RBIs. Her NSR scout, Steve LaMay, says in his scouting report on Kendal, “Kendal is an athletic, enthusiastic, energetic ballplayer with plenty of talent. Speed is one of her best assets on the field. She turned in a 2.97 H-1st time at the Blue Chip Camp at Madonna University (Livonia, MI). While speed is an asset Kendal is far from being one-dimensional. She is also very strong and has very good gap power. In the box she is an extra base hit waiting to happen.”
In her essay to college coaches, Kendal says, “I know the academic and athletic requirements necessary to move onto playing softball at the collegiate level. I love this sport and I believe I have what it takes within me to play at the next level. In order to meet this dream, I have set academic and athletic goals. Academically my goal is to improve my GPA and to score a 28 or higher on my ACT. Athletically, my goal is to be a leader on my varsity softball team, improve my plate coverage, increase my batting average of .349 and contribute to wining a conference title. My experiences playing sports have helped me develop a strong work ethic, true leadership skills, and the ability to perform well under pressure which has made me the person I am today.”
