Scouting Report

Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Curveball: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 55

• 6/19: Keller optioned to Triple-A

Hailing from the Iowa high school ranks, Keller was a projectable right-hander who jumped onto the radar in 2014 thanks to a velocity spike. The Pirates saw enough to give him seven figures to walk away from his commitment to the University of North Carolina. Injuries hampered him early in his pro career, but he still made it to Triple-A at age 22 and started the All-Star Futures Game in 2018, earning a spot on the 40-man roster in the offseason.

The velocity jump that Keller showed in his senior year of high school has largely stayed with him. He touched 99 mph in his one-inning Futures Game start and often touches 97-98 mph, while sitting in the 93-96 mph range. Thrown with excellent sink, Keller gets a lot of groundball outs, but also elicits swings and misses with both his fastball and his plus 11-to-5 downer curveball. He's worked hard to improve his changeup, and while it's still not as good as his two plus offerings, it gives him a third Major League average offering.

While Keller's walk rate went up in 2018, some of that came with him trying to do too much when he first got to Triple-A, a stretch where his velocity dipped and he lost some feel for his stuff and delivery. He bounced back to finish strongly, with signs pointing in the right direction as a potential frontline starter with plus stuff and command.

Pitch Movement

How this works: Every pitch is affected by the forces of gravity, which means that every pitch drops on its way from the mound to the plate. These numbers are reported with gravity, which makes them larger and different than other pitch movement numbers you may have seen. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren’t ‘better’ just because they have more time to move, the movement of a pitch is compared to ‘average’ movement by comparing it to other MLB pitch types within +/- 2 MPH and from within +/- 0.5 feet of extension and release.
