Antoine Kelly

Of all the prospects at the Brewers' alternate training site, Kelly may have taken the biggest leap forward this past summer. He was selected in the second round of the 2019 draft out of a junior college because he is 6-foot-6, left-handed, athletic, and armed with a mid-90s fastball (touches 98). Those traits alone allowed him to have success in the AZL after signing. However, this past summer was when he developed a slider and changeup, using new-age developmental tools. Once he developed those offerings on the side, he began missing bats with them right away at the alternate site. This year will pose a new challenge, as he will look to put his new pitches to work in the upper levels of the minors against hitters from other organizations, all while building up his workload. Kelly remains quite risky, but he has the tools to establish himself as one of the game's best lefty pitching prospects this season.
