Pitcher of the Week, June 15-21: Casey Kelly
Salem righty Casey Kelly continued to impress last week, pitching 12 innings of 5 hit ball, allowing a single earned run while striking out 10 and walking only two over two starts en route to winning SoxProspects.com Pitcher of the Week honors for June 15-21. Against Kinston (Indians) June 15, Kelly allowed his only run on 4 hits, and struck out 5, earning the win, and pitched 6 shutout innings of 1 hit ball June 21 at Potomac (Nationals), striking out 5, but didn't factor in the decision. With Salem, Kelly is 1-2 with a 2.51 ERA in 28.2 innings over five starts, striking out 24 while walking only 3 and holding opposing batters to a .192 average. Kelly, who previously won SoxProspects.com Pitcher of the Week of June 1-7, is currently the fourth ranked prospect in the organization by SoxProspects.com.
