    Keys put up video game numbers this spring, including four no-hitters, though it was against 2-A competition in rural Colorado. Rye is a tiny town outside Pueblo, Colo., about two hours south of Denver. Keys intrigues scouts with his size and the potential of his stuff. He has an athletic, muscular build at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds and a fairly clean delivery. His stuff grades out as fringy at the moment. His fastball sits in the 86-88 mph range and tops out at 91, and he mixes in a curveball that has its moments. He rarely uses a changeup against inferior competition. He is committed to Kansas and could blossom after three years there.
