Kelly (8-5) allowed one run on one hit and four walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Angels on Sunday.
Scouting Report
Owns a pretty good frame and the versatility to pitch either as a starter or reliever (which adds value for MLB teams). Has posted excellent numbers at lower levels. Is largely unproven in Major League Baseball, so he needs to showcase his talent quickly on the biggest stage in order to maximize his big-league appearances.
Long Range Potential: Versatile right-hander.
