6/19/14 - Solidly built 5-foot-10, 180-pound infielder, developed lower half with proportional strength. Was one of the top infielders at the PBR Top Prospect Showcase. Offensively, hits from a balanced setup, maintains balance throughout swing, leg kick trigger, excellent rhythm and timing; level, flat path, gap-to-gap approach. Clearly knows what he is doing in the box. Bat speed present with little effort; recorded 91 mph exit velocity. Defensively, showed premium arm strength across infield (88 mph), some effort in throw, longer arm swing; currently plays shortstop though may be better suited at third base. Fields the ball in rhythm, soft hands, clean exchange and plays through ball well. Ran a 7.36 60.

6.13.13 - Kenney is a physical 5-foot-10, 180-pound infielder who showed solid all-around ability across the board. Defensively, he fields the ball with rhythm, plays through the ball well, and demonstrated plenty of arm across the diamond (81 mph). Offensively, he has an aggressive yet balanced plate approach. Has a mechanically sound swing and showed the ability to drive the ball with some carry (87 mph exit velocity). Kenny, who ran a 7.59 60, may project more as a third baseman at the next level.
