Standing 5-foot-11, 140-pounds, the right-hander has room to fill out as he continues to develop in the coming years. On the mound, Kelby moves with a controlled tempo throughout his operation while utilizing a short/repeatable arm circle into a ¾ slot. The incoming freshman ran his fastball up to 78 mph with slight running action to the arm-side. He displayed two off-speed offerings; the first being a tight 11/5 curveball at 72-73 mph, and the second being a short 10/4 slider at 66-68 mph. His final offering was a changeup at 68-70 mph, fading heavily at times to his arm-side.
