Masato Keefe  
Shortstop | Regina Pirates

Hitting
Keefe never has been a patient hitter. In past seasons, Keefe has been a bit of a liability with men on base. Keefe always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. Keefe isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2025 Outlook
If Keefe doesn't perform, the Regina Pirates won't hesitate to send him down to the minors.
