Hendrixson is an athletic prospect that likely projects as a middle infielder at the next level. He shows smooth and fluid footwork at shortstop while consistently playing through the baseball. With quick arm action, he registered a top velocity of 83 mph across the infield. At the plate, the contact hitter uses an open setup. He has the tendency to wrap his bat during his load, which slows down his bat speed and creates a long path to the ball. On the mound, he shows a fluid delivery and quick arm action. He displayed an easy 80-81 mph fastball along with a tight breaking 12/6 curveball that sat at 70-71 mph. His changeup, which needs additional development, registered at 75-76 mph.
