Brian Kelly  
Center Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. With his slap-hitting approach, Kelly always hits like he already has two strikes. The results are usually groundballs or line drives to the opposite field. The switch-hitting Kelly has better plate coverage and more power from the left side than when he bats righthanded. You can expect Brian Kelly to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Kelly isn't a fluid center fielder, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. Brian's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Kelly isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2025 Outlook
Kelly isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Brian to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
