My Take

Ian Kennedy put together exactly the kind of long, durable career I respect in baseball. Seventeen Major League seasons from 2007 to 2023 is no accident, especially the way he reinvented himself, starting as a Yankees and Diamondbacks starter before becoming a reliable reliever later on. Suiting up for six different clubs, the Yankees, Diamondbacks, Padres, Royals, Rangers, and Phillies, shows both his adaptability and the trust teams kept placing in him. As a USC product out of Huntington Beach, he's a textbook example of the southern California pitching pipeline, and his longevity is what impresses me far more than any single highlight.

Overview
