ustin Kelly is a 2026 left-hander with a lean, projectable 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame and a developing feel for a three-pitch mix. He works exclusively from the stretch, utilizing a taller, even lift into an athletic move down the slope. The arm path is loose and wrapping, working from a lower ¾ slot that adds some deception. His fastball sits 79–81 mph (T82) with occasional arm-side run. Kelly flashes a 70–71 mph slider with short sweeping action and shows intriguing feel for a 77–78 mph splitter that mimics sinker-like movement. There’s pitchability here and more velocity likely coming as he continues to mature.
