Standing in at a strong-bodied 6-foot-2, 220-pound frame, Pennekamp had a strong showing at the plate during Saturday’s pool play. The right-hander possessed a wider stance with a longer toe-tap stride, showing a compact swing with whole field power. Pennekamp waited back on an offspeed pitch to send it to deep center field for a double. He would go on to finish 2-for-3 at the plate with a run scored.
