Amateur careerLenik attended Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, California. He played for the school's baseball as a freshman, but quit the team after the season. He focused on American football, playing tight end.[1] As his academic grades were too low to play football for a National Collegiate Athletic Association school, Lenik decided to return to baseball. He enrolled at the College of the Canyons, a junior college, and played for the school's baseball team. He transferred to Hawaii Pacific University for his junior year, and then California State University, Dominguez Hills for his senior year. He played as an outfielder, not trying to pitch until the end of his senior year.

The Rangers released Lenik during spring training in 2017.[3] Lenik signed with the Windy City ThunderBolts of the Frontier League, an independent baseball league. He had a 1–0 win–loss record and a 3.48 earned run average (ERA) in 11 relief appearances for Windy City.[2] His fastball reached {{convert|98|mph}}. He signed with the Kansas City Royals, who assigned him to the Burlington Royals of the Rookie-level Appalachian League in late June.
