Unsigned Senior Spotlight: 1B Troy Glendenning



Troy Glendenning is a 6-foot-4, 255-pound prospect from Kiski Area High School. The first baseman is very agile and displayed good glove work around the bag. He has a solid arm across the infield at 75mph and runs well for a big guy (7.58 60-yard dash). Glendenning will really catch your eye at the plate. Offensively he showcased a 90mph bat exit speed velo, tops at the Western PA Top Prospect Showcase in August. His round of batting practice was impressive as he drove pitch after pitch to the wall, using all fields.
