12-23-9: named 1st team NCBWA All-American
2-11 from http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/ - Next year’s draft class does offer Rice third baseman Anthony Rendon, who already is being put in the same conversation with some of the biggest and best college hitters to emerge in recent years. Rendon may be most similar to former Virginia Cavalier and current Washington National Ryan Zimmerman, in that his game seems to be incredibly well rounded. Rendon can hit, hit for power, and he offers a slick glove and a strong arm from the hot corner. Like Zimmerman, it is believed that Rendon could play shortstop in a pinch, and may even settle down at second base. He’s good enough at third and his bat plays well enough there to not get cute in trying to figure out where he could play.
3-15-10 from http://pnrscouting.com/rankings_2010_houstoncollegeclassic.html - Top 10 Players (2011 Draft Class) - Anthony Rendon, 3B, Rice Univ. - Flashed a little bit of everything throughout the weekend, showing soft hands, a strong and accurate arm, above-average speed up the line, power and perhaps the best approach of any player at the plate; victim of a few hard-hit balls not falling, but was easily the best player to suit up over these nine games.
4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2253 - Rice has been disappointing as a team this spring (17-12), but don’t blame 3B Anthony Rendon. College baseball’s biggest offensive threat (at least when he’s pitched to) is hitting .320-11-34 with an excellent 39:15 walk-to-strikeout ratio.
6-12-10 from: - http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/wait-til-next-year-2011-draft-preview - Corner Infield - Best Player: Anthony Rendon, 3B, Rice, .394/.530/.801. I wanted to start with the likely 2011 #1 overall pick, who followed up the best freshman season in Rice history (.388/.461/.702), with probably the best offensive season the school has ever seen. A very good defender and good baserunner, Rendon does not have a discernible hole in his game. His 21.5 BB% is more reflective of the fear he strikes in opposing teams, and rightfully so. Rendon is worthy of Orioles fans to begin rooting against their team.

One was District VII: 3B Anthony Rendon (Rice) - Rendon is just the second player in Conference USA history to be named Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons after picking up that honor this year while leading the Owls to the regular season league championship. The two-time first team All-C-USA selection was named to the C-USA Championship All-Tournament team and was named the Most Outstanding Player at the NCAA Austin Regional. He batted .402 in conference play and finished the season hitting .394 overall. The sophomore from Houston, Texas, led Conference USA in home runs with 26 and had more homers than strikeouts (22) all season long.

7-3 from: - http://collegebaseball360.com/2010/07/03/rices-rendon-wins-dick-howser-trophy - Rice sophomore third baseman Anthony Rendon is the recipient of the 24th annual Dick Howser Trophy as college baseball’s player of the year. The presentation was made Friday evening in Lubbock, Texas as part of the festivities to recognize and induct the College Baseball Hall of Fame and the awarding of several other national honors for 2010. Rendon is just the second player in Conference USA history to be named Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons. He picked up that honor again this year while leading the Owls to the regular season league championship and the school’s 16th consecutive NCAA Regional appearance.
7-4 from: - http://pnrscouting.com/articles_teamusacollegiate_trialroster_07042010.html - Though the 2010 Trials Roster is overflowing with talented positional players, the crown jewel entering this week is undoubtedly Anthony Rendon. The Rice third baseman put up one of the most impressive offensive performances in D-I ball this past Spring, finishing with a line of 302 PA, 226 AB, 89 H, 12 2B, 1 3B, 26 HR, 65 BB and just 22 SO, along with a slash line of .394/.530/.801. In addition to plus strikezone command and incredibly quick and strong wrists, Rendon possesses a solid glove at third with an ability to make the spectacular play, as well as plus arm strength with good accuracy. He should be a lock for the 2010 final roster and should hit right in the middle of a talented lineup. Rendon ranked as our top 2011 talent in an impressive field at the 2010 Houston College Classic this March.
