View Draft Report

Versatile switch-hitter Ty Kelly won the Big West batting title a year ago (.397) but dropped to .307 this spring, albeit with 20 doubles. Kelly is versatile, having played center field in the Cape Cod League last summer and third and second base in college. He's a better fit at second with gap power, average speed and an average to above-average arm.

Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

Kelly wasn't on the prospect radar entering 2012, but he hit his way onto it, batting .327/.425/.413 while walking more than he struck out and rising three levels to Triple-A. Kelly can hit from both sides of the plate, and his future is tied entirely to his bat. He doesn't have much power, but he flares line drives from foul line to foul line, keeping his bat on a level plane through the hitting zone. Kelly still is looking for a position, however. He has below-average speed, range and arm strength, though his defensive instincts are sound. He has played every position but catcher, pitcher and center field during his minor league career, with more than half of his time coming at third base. He doesn't have the power to profile on an infield or outfield corner, nor the defensive chops to play up the middle. That leaves Kelly looking for a role as an offensive utilityman. He'll return to Norfolk to open 2013.
