Cole Keller is a 2027 LHP/OF with a strong 5-foot-11, 180-pound frame and two-way upside. On the mound, he’s a balanced, stretch-only mover with a tight, tucked lift and in-line shoulders. He delivers from an over-the-top slot with a clean arm action and intriguing projection. His fastball sat 77–82 mph (T83) with up to 1909 rpm and late arm-side action. He pairs that with a sharp, two-plane curveball at 66–68 mph (T2438 rpm) and a 74–75 mph changeup that shows feel and some fade. Offensively, the left-handed hitter uses a wide stance with a short leg-lift stride and hits against a firm lead leg, producing a clean swing path and steady contact (88 mph max EV, 84.1 avg). In the outfield, Keller’s best present tool is his 85 mph arm from an OTT slot. A 7.17 runner with a well-rounded profile and projection on both sides of the ball.
