Scouting Report: 
New Jersey Games (July 23-25, 2016)
Kelly stands at 6-foot-2 180-pounds and certainly passes the eye test as a baseball player. Ran a 7.70 60, but intangibles/movements in the OF project him to be better. Offensively, had one of the better batting practices of the event, despite Exit Velo of 79. Smooth, athletic LH swing started with Carlos-Gonzalez-like leg kick. Hands and hips are aggressive in swing. Had two multi-hit games.
Defensively -  Throws were on line from an over-the-top arm slot. Threw 82 from the OF. 60 time will improve as he continues to grow into his frame. Projects as a corner outfielder at the next level.
