Nolan
Keller

Verbally committed to Kaskaskia JC.

An athletic 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame, Keller was making some loud contact Thursday night, showing well with both the bat and glove. Ending his day 2-for-4 with a single and solo home run. Setting up in the box, the right-hander has a wide base, with a quiet trigger and strong hands creating separation, with an uphill path. Then, at short, Keller showed confident, clean actions, with quick feet, and a loose arm working from a ¾ slot. Keller also showed well on the mound this weekend going seven strong innings while allowing only one run against a strong lineup. He used a three-pitch mix and could throw any of them in any count, keeping hitters off balance. Strong tunnels between the three pitches. Fastball sat 82-84 mph commanding it on both sides of the plate. Went to a slider at 75-76 mph with depth and a changeup at 77-78 mph. A two-way player who can make a strong impact on the mound and at the plate.
