Ketelsen is a toolsy two-way player with a projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds that’s easy to dream on. He throws a fastball in the 88-93 mph range from the left side on the mound and did a nice job landing a mid-70s changeup for strikes during the 2024 showcase circuit. He also mixes in a slow downer curveball with 12-to-6 shape in the mid 70s. Ketelsen is a solid athlete on the mound who throws with a slight crossfire delivery from a high three-quarters slot and looks like he could become an average strike-thrower. As a position player, Ketelsen is a lefthanded hitter and center fielder. He has solid bat speed and creates leverage in his swing with flashes of impressive pullside power already. As Ketelsen continues to add more strength and fill out his still-lean frame, he should grow into above-average raw power. Despite the length of Ketelsen’s swing and levers, he has typically done a solid job making contact and that was also true in a solid stint in the West Coast League after his senior season. Ketelsen is a plus runner now who might lose a step and become more of an above-average runner, but has a chance to play all three outfield positions with above-average arm strength. He’s young for the class and is committed to Stanford.
