2017 10th round pick (308): Josh Keaton - RP - Adams State University

[weams]

Fifth-Year Senior

6'1" 190lbs DOB: 10/20/93

#25 Josh Keaton Position: P Height: 6-1 Weight: 200 Class: Senior Hometown: Colorado Springs, Colo.  High School: Sand Creek HS 2016:   In his junior season Keaton became an RMAC opposition nightmare. His stat line of a 3-6 record, 6.68 ERA, two complete games, 68.2 innings pitched, and a team high of 87 strikeouts, made Josh a force to be reckoned with . Keaton also held batters to a .282 BA a gainst, marking a team low. His highlight performance came on the road against the Regis Rangers, where he gave up only 7 hits and three runs in a complete-game victory of 5-3, cementing a spot for the Grizzlies in the RMAC playoffs. In this same outing Keaton was able to set a school record by striking out 14 batters.  2015: In 11 appearances on the mound he and his defense completed 11.2 innings... He also kept his era at 3.09 with 8 strike-outs having faced 48 batters... Tony's Quick Take: Not content on regular seniors, the O's went with a 5th year senior in taking Keaton. I honestly have no take on this one. Can't find video or information on him besides his schools website and nondescript stats.

He had some extremely terrible stats this season

I wonder what his pitch count was in his last game where he went 8 innings, giving up 10 hits and 6 BB.

From Adams State University's site, lol

I'm guessing it's an extremely high run scoring environment.

Under slot, he has to give the Os $25,000 to play. That's some 8 dimensional chess stuff.

 So that's 5 senior signs in a row??  DL must be asking for a ton of money.

It's not that much money. Many people had him as a top 12 talent.

1.14 difference between 12 and 21.

You think he'd sign for that? Or will they have to low ball a few others?

What do I know?

I'd final offer him about 500K over slot. 

Any idea who is adviser is?

This is what I found out about from the Adams State website articles about Josh Keaton the 10th round pick. Tops out at 95 sits at 93-94 CB 81-84. He had 123K's in 82 innings high school and 179K's in 143 innings at Adams State. Surprising a pitcher from Colorado not many pitchers get taken out of Colorado I know I coach baseball there.
