Keller doesn’t look like a normal sized 8th grader, he stands at 5’10” 188.5lbs packs on a solid frame. At C he moves pretty well behind the plate, sticks the ball well and has a strong arm. Pop times were 2.18-2.44 and a velocity of 70 MPH. Keller’s max EV was 88.3 MPH with an avg of 80.3 MPH, max distance of 292 FT (found sweet spot 42.9% of the time). Max bat speed of 75 MPH and a max hand speed of 22.9 MPH. I see a big arm in the future for Keller, he can throw hard and he can throw strikes. An event best with a max velo of 78.9 MPH, with an average fastball of 76.7 MPH with a avg spin rate of 1985 RPM. Throws a SK/SL/CB mix, I really like the CB has a good 12-6 bite to it. When he develops all of his pitches he’s going to be hard to hit against in the future.
