Kelley

6-foot-2, 180 pounds with a long, lanky frame. Uses a wide, slightly open set-up in the box with subtle bend in his lower half. Athletic posture with slight rhythm in hands before using a low leg lift and “knee knock” move with his lower half. Low hand placement gets barrel on plane early & allows him to work quick/direct the ball. Weight stays centered as he rotates thru core and holds finish thru contact. Creates bat speed easily into a high, lofted finish. Defensively, shows a balanced pre-pitch set up with a quick hop prior to taking his first step. Adjusts posture to receive ball on the outside of his glove-arm side, then comes thru with steady momentum/tempo. Funnels ball deep into stance. Occasional ‘tap’ action on the exchange into throwing motion. Short, bent arm action with a high ¾ release & consistent ball flight. On the mound, uses a smooth, quick paced delivery with repeatable actions. Works from the left-side of the rubber. Stays tall with a high, athletic leg kick. Slight coil into back hip before breaking hands and getting down the mound. Back leg has some flexion into stride while keeping a level shoulder plane. Full, continuous arm action into high ¾ release. Lands under control with extension out front and a balanced finish thru release. Stays on top of the ball with all of his offerings and keeps everything around the zone.
