The Pirates have selected Kellington with the 102nd overall pick in the 2021 first-year player draft.
ANALYSIS
A rare prep prospect from Vermont, Kellington carved up overmatched high school hitters in the Northeast, but scouts believe his projectable 6-foot-2 frame and excellent raw stuff will allow him to achieve success against better competition, too. The right-hander is already hitting 93 mph with his fastball, and he should add a few more ticks to the offering as he physically matures. His curveball also grades out as an above-average pitch at this stage of his development.
