Connor
Kehoe

Kehoe showed well on the mound Saturday, showing a fastball that sat 78-81 mph and was paired with a 67-69 mph curveball. The right-handed pitcher showed explosive actions on the mound and repeated it well from a high 3/4s arm slot. An athletic 5-foot-9, 142 pounds, the rising senior still has a lot of room for strength gains, which would compliment his present toolset.

Uncommitted. Listed at 5-foot-9, 142-pounds, still has plenty of room to add on strength. Came out of the ‘pen for the Cougars and threw it extremely well over 5.1 innings, scattering just four hits with one earned run, two walks and two strikeouts. The right-hander has a deceptive, high leg-kick that works with some pace, tall/fall lower-half, creates some angle on his fastball with an over the top slot. He cruised with his fastball in the 80-81 mph range throughout most of his outing, attacking the upper quadrant of the zone and also setting up a sharp, downer 12/6 curveball at 69-73 mph for swing and miss. He also flashed a slider at 74 mph with sharp 10/4 action.
