Antwone Kelly
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Kelly has the ingredients of a back-end starter or fallback multi-inning arm, with enough fastball velocity and a usable slider/changeup mix to survive against right and left-handed hitters. The ceiling is limited by strike-throwing consistency more than by pure stuff, because the power is real enough to miss bats but not so overwhelming that he can live in the zone without fine location. If the command stabilizes, he can settle into a #5 starter role; if the walks stay elevated, the likely outcome shifts toward a long-relief or up-and-down bullpen role. The 2025 performance supports real talent, while the 2026 command and home-run issues point to a developmental step that still needs to be solved.
