Career[]
Amateur career[]
Hendrix attended Cypress Woods High School in Cypress, Texas.[1] He was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 17th round of the 2013 MLB draft, but did not sign and attended Texas A&M University.[1] In 2015, Hendrix played for the United States collegiate national team.[2][3] Against Cuba, Hendrix, Tanner Houck, and A. J. Puk combined to throw a no-hitter.[4] Hendrix was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 5th round, with the 138th overall selection, of the 2016 MLB draft, and signed with them.[5][6]
Professional career[]
Hendrix split his professional debut season of 2016 between the Billings Mustangs and the Dayton Dragons, going a combined 3–1 with a 3.57 ERA and 36 strikeouts over 35+1⁄3 innings.[7] He split the 2017 season between Dayton and the Daytona Tortugas, going a combined 5–5 with a 2.90 ERA and 88 strikeouts over 62 innings.[8] He spent the 2018 season with Daytona, going 4–4 with a 1.76 ERA and 79 strikeouts over 51 innings.[9][10] He split the 2019 season between the Arizona League Reds and the Chattanooga Lookouts, going a combined 4–0 with a 1.85 ERA and 31 strikeouts over 24+1⁄3 innings.[11]
Hendrix was added to the Reds 40–man roster after the 2019 season.[12] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On April 23, 2021, Hendrix was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[13] He made his MLB debut that day, pitching a shutout inning of relief against the St. Louis Cardinals. In the game, he also recorded his first two major league strikeouts, punching out Justin Williams and Tommy Edman.
