Anthony Rendon, 3b
Born: Jun 6, 1990
B-T: R-R
Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 195
Drafted: Rice, 2011 (1st round). Signed by: Tyler Wilt
Background: Rendon is one of the most accomplished college players of the
last decade, and his rise to elite prospect status has been slowed only by a
succession of injuries. A 27th-round pick by the Braves out of Houston's
Lamar High in 2008, Rendon burst onto the national scene at Rice the
following spring, hitting .388/.461/.702 with 20 homers to win Baseball
America's Freshman of the Year award. He tore ligaments in his right ankle
after stepping on a sprinkler head in during NCAA super regionals that June,
but he rebounded to hit .394/.530/.801 with 26 homers in 2010 to win BA
College Player of the Year honors. Once again his summer was lost to injury,
as he broke the same ankle while running the bases in his second game with
the U.S. collegiate national team. A strained throwing shoulder largely
limited him to DH duties as a junior, and he got few pitches to hit. Rendon
still ranked as the 2011 draft's top prospect, but uncertainty about his
shoulder caused him to drop to the Nationals as the sixth overall pick. He
signed a $7.2 million big league contract that including a $6 million bonus
at the Aug. 15 deadline. After a stellar spring training, Rendon once
moresuccumbed
to the injury bug on April 7, slightly fracturing his left ankle
while running the bases in his second pro game. He returned to action on July
19 and quickly reached Double-A Harrisburg, but he didn't truly find his
stride until the Arizona Fall League, where he batted .338/.436/.494.
Scouting Report: Rendon stands out most for his strong, lightning-quick
hands. Rendon's tension-free swing allows him to stay back and then whip his
bat through the zone, generating hard line drives from foul pole to foul
pole. He has excellent balance, advanced pitch recognition and a patient
approach (as evidenced by his 176-78 BB-K ratio at Rice), though his timing
and pitch selection were off somewhat in his injury-shortened 2012 pro debut.
Though he isn't overly physical, he enough leverage in his swing to hit 20 or
more homers annually while contending for batting titles. Rendon compiled an
impressive defensive highlight reel in college, and the Nationals have been
impressed with his body control, hands, footwork and instincts. He had a plus
arm at Rice, but it now rates as more of a solid tool. He also has lost a
step or two after his three ankle injuries, making him a slightly
below-average runner.
The Future: If he can stay healthy, Rendon can an all-star third baseman with
a middle-of-the-order bat and quality defensive skills. But with Ryan
Zimmerman in his prime and locked into Washington's third-base job for the
foreseeable future, Rendon figures to wind up elsewhere—perhaps second base,
where he has played on occasion in college and in spring training. He figures
to return to Double-A to start 2013, and he could get his first taste of the
majors later in the year because his skills are advanced.
