Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 140-pounds. Keiter has a big arm swing that builds momentum gradually with optimal scap load. His front arm extends toward the plate with his front hip while separating from his back leg, creating upper body separation from his lower half and therefore creating separation/torque between the arm action/path and stride leg. This allows Keiter to be in the optimal throwing position because his arm+hand are in stride when the front foot lands. Really good command of his two-pitch mix. His fastball was 82-84 and topped out at 85 which is really impressive for such a young arm. His Curveball was 68-71 and would either end up freezing the hitter or creating ugly swings. Keiter used his FB to set up his CB and pitched well throughout the game. Keiter is an intriguing prospect that will only continue to get better as he adds muscle to his frame which will hopefully increase his velo throughout the next couple of years.
