Kelly pitched 1.2 innings for the Mudcats yesterday. Gave up 2 hits and two runs. Also 2 BB and 2 SO. 38 pitches.

 

Probably just throwing fastballs

Watched part of his start on milb TV. He was throwing both his fastball and his slider. Fastball still showed good life. Velo was 93-95 based on what the opposing announcer was saying. Slider looked decent. His defense really screwed him on one of the runs. Joey Wiemer was lackadaisical on a fly ball to medium right field and the runner on first was able to tag up and take second. That runner then scored on a slow grounder that snuck through with two outs.

 

One thing I noticed is that Kelly appears to be trying to shorten his arm path. I compared it to his start with the T Rats in 2019, and it’s a definite change. He didn’t look particularly comfortable with the new path yet...
