My Take
Brad Keller is one of those quietly reliable big-league arms who doesn't get enough credit. A right-handed sinker-baller out of Flowery Branch, Georgia, he broke into the majors with Kansas City in 2018 and quickly became a workhorse starter for the Royals during some lean years — the kind of pitcher who eats innings and keeps his team in games even when the lineup isn't doing him any favors. His sinker-heavy approach generates a ton of ground balls, which is a genuine skill, not a gimmick. He's bounced around since then — Chicago White Sox, Red Sox, Cubs, and landing with the Phillies — and honestly that journey says more about roster churn than his ability. I've always had a soft spot for pitchers who grind through mediocre rosters and still compete. He's got the makeup and the pitch mix to contribute; he just needs a stable situation to show it consistently.
