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 <a href=\"www.madonna.edu\/\">Madonna University<\/a> (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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In her essay to college\u00a0coaches, Kendal says, &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NSR 2013 softball prospect, Kendal Bayer,\u00a0is a first baseman and outfielder from Howell High School in Howell, Michigan.\u00a0 This past\u00a0Saturday 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.\u00a0 The 5&#8217;6&#8243; multi-talented player, who last year was selected to &#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/kendal-bayer-has-incredible-day-at-michigan-weekend-travel-softball-tourney\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6284"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6284"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6287,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6284\/revisions\/6287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
