Dave Kelly  
Third Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Kelly is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Kelly when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Kelly isn't a fluid third baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is slightly above average with a quick release. 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 Dave to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
