Kendrick, a 2020 graduate from Cal State Fullerton in kinesiology and sports studies, has extensive experience in the travel ball circuit and had his first collegiate experience last year as a graduate manager for California Baptist.

With travel ball experience dating all the way back to 2008 in one of the most competitive areas in the country, Kendrick stands ready to take that next step into the collegiate level.

He got his start in the Corona Girls Softball Association from 2008 to 2010, serving as an assistant coach for the 10U and 12U programs, then was named the head coach at Capistrano Valley High from 2011 to 2015. While he was working toward a degree at Santiago Canyon College, he served as the team’s outfield and first base coach from 2015 to 2018.

During his tenures there, he worked in the travel circuit, serving as the 16U assistant coach with the SoCal Beverly Bandits Lastrapes  – who were 2015 PGF qualifiers – as well as the outfield coach for the 16U/18U Batbusters Lastrapes program – who were a 2017 PGF Premier qualifier and the 2016 USA Elite Select World Fastpitch 16U champions.

While at Santiago Canyon College, Kendrick was a member of the 2016 NFCA California Junior College National Coaching Staff of the Year as the team won the CCCAA state title.

He continued to build his resume as he was the 14U/16U outfield coach for the OC Tigers Lastrapes team from 2017 to 2019, the head coach for the 14U Batbusters Kendrick team from 2019 to 2021 and the 18U assistant and outfield coach for the Batbusters Lastrapes program in 2021 through the summer of 2022. The OC Tigers Lastrapes were 2019 PGF Platinum and 2018 PGF Premier qualifiers.

In his role at California Baptist, Kendrick served as the team’s director of operations, while also throwing batting practice, hit grounders and caught bullpen sessions. He earned his master’s degree in kinesiology and sports management from CBU in May.
