Selected by the Detroit Tigers in the 26th round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft out of Pitt (N.C.) Community College. Attended Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. Just completed his 6th full professional season in the Tigers organization and his second in Double-A Erie. He got called up and made his Major League debut July 4th 2015. After being sent back down after 2 outings, Jeff was again called back up to the Majors in September where he finished out his season with the big league club. The Rock Solid product threw up a zero ERA in the arizona fall league!
Drafted in the 29th round in 2014 out of North Carolina A&T University, Tendler is the latest Rock Solid Alum in professional baseball. Tendler's sweet left handed stroke has had an immediate impact at the pro level allowing him to be named a Northwest League All Star in his first summer. Tendler's first professional hit was a homerun, and he went on to hit ten more (11 total) in a mere 267 at bats this summer while posting a .316 average. An infielder in college and at Laney High School, Tendler has seen the majority of his time professionally in the outfield. 2015 season was a break out year for Tendler, showing he has what it take to be a top prospect. He was named to yet another All Star team and lead his Hickory Crawdads team in homers.
Having these guys play for Rock Solid and/or train at Coastal Athletics has been very rewarding and a true honor. The hard work, dedication and character of these players earned them the success of "Collegiate" and/or "Professional" opportunities.
