Matt
Kellner

Stands 5-foot-11, 185-pounds and shows great athletic versatility. He ran a 7.27 60-yard dash, showed exit speed of 88-mph and threw it 79-mph across the diamond. Offensively- Sets up tall with quiet hands and consistent load pattern. Uses an explosive lower half to drive the ball well to the gaps. Occasional inside-out swing path but the barrel finds the ball. Aggressive, run producing approach. Defensively- Though he showcased and played the NY Games as a 3b, and did so successfully showing good footwork and arm strength across, we've also seen him shine in the outfield at times also. Active feet with his approach; funnels ball in perhaps to deep but quick with transfer. Additional shuffle steps at times; over the top arm slot with good carry.
