I agree with your assessment of Keljo. He’s got a fastball, but lacks any sort of consistent, legit off speed pitch. And even his fastball command is hit and miss. I’m really hoping he takes a jump in the next year, because the potential is there 100%. Big, athletic, lefty, throws hard. Unfortunately, until he develops better command and better off speed, he will remain limited with how good he can be. Doesn't he have a pretty nasty breaking ball/slider thing? hitting off a guy like Keljo, you simply dismiss anything but his fastball until he proves he can consistently get a secondary pitch over. A slider would be good but a changeup would be better. Right now he is hard/hard so you can kinda gear for one speed. He’s a big guy with I assume big hands, usually a key to a good changeup. Guys like him who threw hard at a young age are often discouraged from developing secondary pitches by coaches who would rather see him just blow everyone away. A changeup is a feel and belief pitch and there are a hundred different grips, so what works for you is what works. Keljo may have to learn one on the fly. |

Pitching and defense generally win games. This year it's going to have to be offense, offense, offense.
