RHP Ryan Kelly (Lincoln-Way East) had a loud showing in his outing. He’s an athletic mover with a high, quick leg-lift into balance point, before firing down the mound with an explosive drop/drive lower-half that stays in-line. He has a compact arm circle out of the glove that plays into a ¾ to higher ¾ slot. He attacked the zone with three pitches, starting with his fastball that sat around 84-86 mph, topping out at 87 mph. He used his curveball to get some weak swings, thrown with fastball intent and playing with depth, 73-74 mph. He briefly flashed a changeup to round out his arsenal, playing with slight fading action in the mid-70s.
