Anthony Rendon Biography

Rendon was born on June 6, 1990, in Houston, Texas, to Rene and Bridget Rendon. From an early age, his parents noticed his love for the sport, as he would hit pine cones with sticks when he was only three years old. Growing up in the southwest side of Houston, Rendon excelled in both academics and sports, with basketball, track, and baseball being his primary focus.

Rendon’s talent in baseball became evident when he attended Hodges Bend Middle School, where he was a star athlete. Later, he transferred to Lamar High School, where he was an outstanding senior, hitting .570 with eight home runs, 17 doubles, 56 runs batted in, 56 runs, and 13 stolen bases. It was no surprise that he was a first-team 5A all-state shortstop and an All-Greater Houston selection by the Houston Chronicle. Rendon was drafted in the 27th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the Atlanta Braves, but he turned down their offer to play for Rice University and head coach Wayne Graham.

Rendon’s freshman year at Rice University in 2009 was outstanding, and he was named Baseball America’s Freshman of the Year, All-America, Freshman All-American, NCBWA’s District VII Player of the Year, NCAA All-Regional Team, Conference USA Player of the Year, All-Conference USA (first team), Conference USA All-Tournament Team, and MVP of the Silver Glove Series with cross-town rival, University of Houston.

In his first season, he hit .388 with 20 home runs and 72 runs batted in, starting in all 61 of the Owls’ games. Rendon was also nominated for both the Dick Howser Trophy and the Golden Spikes Award. He led the conference in numerous offensive categories, including batting average, slugging percentage, and home runs, setting a new Rice freshman record. In addition to his batting prowess, he showed defensive ability at third base, ending the year with a .945 fielding percentage. However, Rendon suffered an ankle injury that required surgery in Rice’s last game in the Baton Rouge Super Regional.

Despite his injury, the Washington Nationals selected Rendon in the first round, with the sixth overall selection, of the 2011 Major League Baseball draft. After playing for Double-A Harrisburg Senators, Rendon was called up by the Washington Nationals on April 20, 2013, when Ryan Zimmerman was placed on the disabled list. He finished the season with the Nationals, putting up a .265/.329/.396 triple slash with seven home runs across 98 games with the major league club.

Over the years, Rendon has become a force to reckon with in the MLB. He has been described by sports media as quiet and modest, with strong all-around offensive and defensive performance as an infielder for the Washington Nationals. In 2016–17, Nationals manager Dusty Baker dubbed him one of the most “underrated” players in Major League Baseball. Rendon’s talent and dedication to the game have earned him numerous accolades and recognition.

In May 2022, during Reid Detmers’ no-hitter, Rendon hit his first left-handed home run, against position player pitcher Brett Phillips. This was also the first time Rendon batted left-handed in a major league game. For the next game, Angels manager Joe Maddon listed Rendon as a switch hitter. In June, the Angels announced that Rendon would undergo surgery on his right wrist, which would cause him to miss the remainder of the season. In March 2023, Anthony was caught in a video arguing with a fan. The police revealed they were investigating the issue.
