Keaton McKinney is a 2014 1B/RHP with a 6-5 210 lb. frame from Ankeny, IA who attends Ankeny HS. Big strong well proportioned build, fairly mature physically. Two-way prospect. Right handed hitter, long and strong swing, good weight shift into contact, looking to pull and lift, big wrap to start creates length, loose extension out front. 7.33 runner, moves well around first base bag, more arm strength than needed for position. Might be better long term pitcher, slow paced delivery, accelerates to the plate, extended 3/4's release slot. Fastball topped at 90 mph, loses velocity from the stretch, good arm speed and feel for change up, big curveball, still raw mechanically but big arm strength. Very good student, verbal commitment to Arkansas.

Keaton McKinney is a 2014 1B/RHP, C, 3B with a 6-3 197 lb. frame from Ankeny, IA who attends Ankeny. Very young prospect with a tall athletic frame, good baseball body. Versatile two-way prospect, can handle several positions defensively and showed well on the mound. Has a chance to be a very high level hitting prospect. Showed good strength in his swing and flashed good bat speed, squaring up several balls very hard. Made a lot of good contact at the plate and has some present power, projects for more. May have as much upside on the mound, good quick compact arm action. Secondary stuff has potential, has a ton of projection on the mound and how quickly he develops there will determine whether his future lies as a pitcher or a position player. Showed soft hands and good defensive skills at 1B. Very interesting prospect to follow.
