Hitting
Bendel never has been a patient hitter. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Bendel when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. You can expect Cade Bendel to pull the ball. He absolutely loves playing before the hometown crowd.
Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Bendel doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Cade Bendel is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors.
