Casey Kelly

Anybody know what the chances are of him going to college instead of going pro. He would probably start from day 1 and he could make this team compete for an SECC. But most experts have him going in the 2nd round of the draft so the chances of him coming are slim. What do you guys think?

he's a 5* star baseball prospect meaning that he is an elite talent so he could probably start from day 1.

You could say Kentrail is better, but that's it.

you would think since he's a QB, but he's an elite SS prospect.

Supposedly he's not a very good hitter though, just a real good fielder. That's what I've heard.

He's a very good hitter.

Kelly's a quality pitcher, but his future at the next level probably lies in the infield, just like his father, Pat, who played eight years in the majors. Casey has a smooth swing and could develop into a top-notch power hitter. Some scouts say he will eventually shifted from shortstop to third base. Kelly also signed with the University of Tennessee as a quarterback. The lure of SEC football makes him the player most likely on this list to actually attend college and could lead to him falling on some draft boards.

I'd be shocked if he plays baseball here.

they say that he will fall because he's the most likely to go to college of the top high school players.

Yes, but to play football. With his pedigree and the fact that he's committed to the football team, I'd bet he'll be drafted in the first five to ten rounds and sign.

He's not the most likely to go to college and play baseball. No way.
