"Kendy appeared in 16 games, 10 as a starter, in 2025. He began the season with the FCL Braves where he really stood out - appearing in 6 games where he had a 7.46 K/9 and 3.83 BB/9 rate. With an ERA of just 1.81, Kendy forced the Braves to promote him to full season ball, which is a bit of a surprise given his lack of experience in professional baseball."
"Kendy would appear in 6 games for the Augusta GreenJackets where he saw his strikeout numbers sky rocket up to 10.41 K/9, but his walk rate would also rise to 4.24 BB/9. We got our first real look at him and what we saw was a more polished lower ceiling arm as Kendy sat in the low 90s with his fastball and had a nice slider/sweeper that he felt comfortable enough to throw to both sides of the plate against RHB and LHB."
Kendy Richard signed with the Braves as an amateur free agent from the Dominican Republic in 2024. At age 20 he pitched 13 games in the Dominican Summer League with a 3.48 ERA, 6.97 K/9 and 3.48 BB/9. In 2025 he made 16 appearances (10 starts), beginning in the FCL where he posted a 1.81 ERA, 7.46 K/9 and 3.83 BB/9 and earned promotion to full-season ball. In six games for Augusta he recorded a 10.41 K/9 and 4.24 BB/9. His fastball sits in the low 90s and he features a comfortable slider/sweeper usable against both right- and left-handed hitters. The main developmental need is a reliable third pitch; the current profile projects as a polished, lower-ceiling arm worth monitoring.
