Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OF/RHPPosition Projection

12/27/2008 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2008 Keener showed good range and arm strength in the outfield, and his speed showed as a strength again at the plate. He showed a solid stroke with above average bat speed and power. On the mound, he pitched with a purpose - went after hitters with all three pitches at times.

10/19/2008 - ACR-E - Maryland - 11 Keener is extremely athletic with a good body and raw ability. He ran a 6.87 60 yard dash and showed that speed in the OF. Feet work well tracking balls and his athleticism takes over to put himself in a position to throw. He just needs reps to hone his skills and maximize his arm strength. We also saw him on the mound were he has a little Derek Lowe in him. Steps across his body which gives him some deception and makes the hitters uncomfortable in the box. FB works downhill with good rotation and accuracy. CB is a difference maker, 12/6 break, can throw for strikes and be an out pitch. He has a CH and KN which he has a feel for and maintains arm speed. CH has some tail and down action while the KN has some wiggler and downward action. Hitting is where we feel he will separate himself and be more of an OF prospect. Raw ability with power and barrel accuracy. Has a level stroke, good hands and bat speed. Once he physically matures and adds some strength he will be able to maximize his potential.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
