    Kelly never got his due as a prospect playing on a state championship team at Pittsburgh's Mount Lebanon High because he played second base with Marlins prospect Josh Wilson, the team's best talent, at shortstop. The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Kelly made up for the slight in college, where he has become one of the East Coast's best shortstop prospects. He has above-average hands, range, arm strength, quickness and aptitude for the position. His bat is more of a concern as he hasn't shown much power.
