Art Kendall  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He isn't that tough to hit, but it's difficult to get good loft on his pitches and he seldom gives up the longball. Kendall performs extremely well in the late innings, but unfortunately his endurance prevents him from getting there very often. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Kendall can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Kendall also has a decent changeup. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
Kendall's move to first base is average. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Kendall is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kendall has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kendall as a pinch-runner on occasion.
