With the 56th pick of the draft, the
0:02
Chicago Cubs select Kane Keley, an
0:04
outfielder from the University of North
0:06
Carolina. The Seattle Mariners have the
0:09
Kane Keley's 5'8, 180 lbs. Uh
0:13
left-handed bat. He went from two years
0:15
at Liberty, weighed over 300 both years
0:18
to North Carolina. He hit under 300 with
0:21
three homers, but he did steal 45 bags,
0:23
Yeah, he's an on base and speed guy. He
0:25
ranked fourth in NCAA Division 1 with 45
0:28
steals and only struck out 7% of the
0:30
time. That was the best rate in the ACC.
0:31
It's you're not going to get much power
0:33
out of this guy, but he's an onbase
0:35
machine. Makes really good swing
0:36
decisions. Doesn't miss the ball. Puts
0:37
it in play. Uses his speed to get on
0:40
base and creates some havoc when he gets
0:41
there. A lot of energy with this guy. He
0:43
always makes things happen on the bases
0:45
in the field. Quality defender in center
0:47
field. So, the power is is one component
0:49
that's missing, but the rest of it adds
0:51
up to a pretty good player.
0:52
Yeah. Between him and Vance Honeyut a
0:54
year ago, UNCC has really had some
0:55
impressive defensive outfielders. I
0:57
think his instincts in the baseball
0:58
field as a defender, as a runner on the
1:01
bases, really stands out to me. I think
1:02
he's a great runner plus defender.
