Kelenic's will to win and compete really stood out to scouts at the Area Code Games. Here are a couple quotes from Kelenic after a win for his White Sox team at the Area Code Games: "I don't like to lose," he said. "If I'm playing you in checkers or chess, I'm going to beat you. Bad. I'm going to bury you. That's something to take pride in. Just this last game, we were up by one. Do we really need one more run in the last inning? Well, I'm gonna score because I want to bury you."
To recap, Kelenic is a bit raw, but still shows an advanced feel for the game despite not being able to be an all year player living in Wisconsin. Between his above average or better tools across the board, his work ethic and passion to not be stopped, I will tell you that I would not bet against Kelenic succeeding. Wouldn't it be awesome to have an outfield with Brandon Nimmo, Michael Conforto and Jarred Kelenic in it in a few years? Yeah, I like that.
Alonso is on top of welcoming the new draft picks to the Mets. This is really awesome to see https://t.co/yBmwA7Bxp5
