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.
