Ben Kennaday brings local grit and middle-infield upside to San José State
A freshman infielder for San José State in the 2026 season, Ben Kennaday is a 5-foot-10, 165-pound local product from Pioneer High who arrives with a steady bat profile and strong in-state familiarity. In high school, he hit .341 as a senior and totaled 51 hits, 21 RBIs, and 13 doubles across two varsity seasons, suggesting line-drive contact ability and useful gap power. The bigger draw is the floor: polished enough to project as a dependable infield piece with room to grow, plus a built-in Spartans connection through his father, John Kennaday.
