38 RHP

Janzen Keisel

Oklahoma State

Keisel has one of the most unique fastballs in the class with an extremely low-launch and late hop at the top of the zone. It's rare you find metrics like that with velocity, but Keisel can bring it. Up to 97, Keisel usually site 92-94. All of those figures are difficult to emulate given his unique release traits. 

There's a seldom-used slider and curveball here too, the latter being the better offering with sweep and deception. Keisel will need to establish a true secondary weapon if he's to continue starting moving forward. There's something of a Paul Sewald type of profile here.
