Kelly is a 6-foot-1, 150 pound right handed pitching prospect. The lanky right hander uses a simple, clean delivery. He gets to a good position at the top before heading down the mound in line with home plate. The arm works out of a short, higher arm slot that gives his fastball some arm side run. Kelly also mixes in a 12/6 breaking ball and showed good feel for his changeup.
