Mitch Keller and Kevin Kramer Named to AFL Fall-Stars Game

Published:

The Arizona Fall League will hold their annual Fall-Stars game on Saturday and two members of the Pittsburgh Pirates will take part in the game. Mitch Keller and Kevin Kramer have both been selected to the West squad. The game will be televised on MLB Network at 8 PM EST.

Keller is scheduled to make his fourth fall start today for the Glendale Desert Dogs. He has a 2.53 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 10.2 innings, with four walks and eight strikeouts. The Fall-Stars game usually consists of the best prospects, not just the players who are playing the best, but Keller has been one of the better pitchers in the league, both with stats and from a scouting standpoint.

Kramer comes into Monday’s action with a .281/.395/.500 slash line and two home runs in nine games. He has played all nine of those games at shortstop.

We will have coverage of the game here on Saturday night.

John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects.
