Henderson was a dominant junior college pitcher who punched 169 tickets in just 97 innings during his draft year. He’s been injured fairly often in pro ball; elbow issues kept him off the field for most of 2022, with elbow inflammation ending his season in 2025. But when he’s been able to pitch, Henderson has struck out roughly 30-35% of opponents and kept his walk rate in the single digits at every minor league stop, and he posted a sub-2.00 ERA in his 25.1 big league debut prior to hitting the IL in August.

Henderson has an excellent two-pitch foundation headlined by a mid-90s rise/run fastball and a nasty high-spin changeup, both of which he commands to effective locations. He so often relies on his changeup to get strikes that its chase and miss rates don’t properly illustrate its quality, while the inverse is true of Henderson’s fastball, which has inflated miss and chase because it’s usually used as a strikeout pitch above the zone.

 

Henderson definitely has starter-quality command, but he hasn’t developed a plus third pitch or proven that he has a starter’s durability. He’s never exceeded 100 innings in a single season, which bothers us, but in part because of the way big league starters are deployed nowadays, he isn’t far off from having what one could consider starter-quality stamina. Henderson has two different breaking balls — an upper-80s cutter that he uses against lefties and a low-80s curveball for righties — that have come and gone from his repertoire at different points in his development. Neither of them is particularly nasty, but he commands both of them to the edges of the zone. This should allow them to play well enough for Henderson to continue projecting as a team’s fourth starter. If not for injury, he’d have graduated in 2025 and might have been part of Milwaukee’s playoff rotation.
