The Grand Junction Jackalopes of the MLB-partnered Pioneer League have announced the signing of Kendall Foster, an electrifying outfielder whose performance at Empire Instructs turned heads. Foster, known for his exceptional athleticism and surprising power despite his smaller stature, is set to make an immediate impact on the Jackalopes’ roster.

Foster, a 23-year-old outfielder, impressed scouts with his elite athletic movements and defensive prowess in the outfield during the three-week Empire Instructs showcase at Terry Park Sports Complex in Ft. Myers, Florida. His compact frame belies a powerful swing, and he consistently showcased the ability to drive the ball with authority during games and drills.

“Kendall is a unique talent who plays the game with unmatched energy and focus,” said the Jackalopes’ manager. “His athleticism and power make him a dangerous player both offensively and defensively. We’re excited to see what he can bring to the team this season.”

Foster’s journey to professional baseball is one of perseverance and determination. Despite being overlooked by some due to his size, he has consistently proven himself at every level with his work ethic and ability to perform in high-pressure situations. Participating in Empire Instructs provided Foster with the perfect stage to showcase his skills in front of professional scouts and coaches.

“Empire Instructs gave me the opportunity to show what I can do,” Foster said. “I’ve always believed in my abilities, and this program allowed me to take that belief to the next level. I’m thrilled to join the Jackalopes and ready to contribute in any way I can.”

The Jackalopes, who compete in the Pioneer League—a partner league of Major League Baseball—are building a roster filled with dynamic and versatile players. Foster’s combination of athleticism, power, and defensive skill adds a valuable dimension to their outfield.

Kendall Foster’s signing is another success story for Empire Instructs, a program renowned for helping free-agent players reignite their careers. His path from Empire Instructs to the Pioneer League is a testament to the opportunities available for players willing to put in the work and seize their moment. Fans of the Jackalopes can look forward to seeing Foster’s electrifying play when the Pioneer League season begins this spring.
