Scouting Report: Kelly reminds a lot of area scouts of Jesse Crain, who
starred as a two-way player at Houston before going to the Twins in the second
round of the 2002 draft and rocketing to the majors. Kelly isn't quite as
physical as Crain yet, but he has a similar build and the potential to be
drafted either as a shortstop or a pitcher. While teams preferred Crain on the
mound, Kelly has support in both roles. He's close to a five-tool player at
shortstop. He handles the bat well and should hit for average with gap power.
He shows good quickness on the bases and in the field. Defensively, he has the
actions, range and arm strength to stay at shortstop. If he doesn't cut it as
a position player, he could fall back on being a reliever because his stuff is
reminiscent of Crain's. After pitching at 88-91 mph in the past, Kelly has
jumped to 94-95 this spring while showing a slider that can be a plus pitch at
times. Kelly entered the year with a relatively low profile, in part because
a blood clot in his shoulder sidelined him last summer. Some teams may not
clear him medically, but there's enough interest for him to go in the second
round.
