"Kelly is a prospect as both a pitcher and a shortstop, but the Red Sox have to be thrilled with the early returns on Kelly's pitching career. The team's first-round pick from the 2008 draft spent last season playing shortstop and didn't debut as a pitcher until this spring. So far, he's yet to allow a run in this first three professional pitching outings, having thrown five shutout innings in each of them. Kelly's command has been superb as he's given up only 10 hits in 15 innings and issued just two walks while fanning 12. He's also earned high marks for his composure and presence on the mound, which isn't too surprising for someone who's the son of a former big leaguer in Pat Kelly."
