Jarred Kelenic

Once considered a top prospect, Kelenic has been humbled by the realities of Major League Baseball. Seattle gave up on him last winter, trading him to Atlanta, and after a decent start with his new team in 2024, Kelenic fizzled yet again. He reached a career-high 15 home runs to go along with seven stolen bases, but he needed 449 plate appearances to get there. By the end of the season, he was losing work to Ramon Laureano. In fact, Kelenic made just eight starts in September even though he was active for the entire month. He has logged more than 1,400 MLB plate appearances, which is quite a bit of experience for a player that is still just 25. It's possible Kelenic is not done developing as a player, but there is little in the numbers to suggest he may turn a corner. Read Past Outlooks
