Keith is an interesting '27 southpaw attacking from a deceptive, just-below sidearm slot to provide a super unique look. The arm works with a loose whip and the slot creates tons of arm-side run (-15" of HZB on avg.) on a fastball that reached 79 mph. His mid-60's slider showed true sweeper shape, spun into the 2400s, and he was able to command a low-to-mid 70s changeup that he killed spin on (1600 on avg.).
