THE JARRED KELENIC FILE

POSITION: OF. SCHOOL: Waukesha West, (Wis.) H.S. AGE: 18. BATS/THROWS: L/L. HEIGHT: 6-1. WEIGHT: 196. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

Kelenic is rated as one of the best pure hitters in this draft. As a high school junior, Kelenic earned MVP honors in the 2016 Pan America games for the USA U18 team. He possesses great speed and an elite arm, which could lead to him moving from center field to right once he starts his pro career. Scouts praise Kelenic’s plate approach and vision, which are especially strong for a cold-weather prep hitter. The main question is whether he can develop major-league power on a smaller frame, but he hit two home runs in only nine games for the USA U18 team.
