Career Transactions | |
Selected by Cardinals in second round of 2012 draft; signed June 15, 2012 | |
Background | |
Kelly was drafted out of high school in Oregon and signed as a third baseman before the Cardinals moved him behind the plate before the 2014 season. | |
What to Watch For | |
The improvements Kelly showed on offense in 2015 have continued this season as he’s driving the ball and using the whole field. Defensively he’s already quite polished. |
