Dbacks MiLB Round-Up 6/29: Keller Leads KC to Win

Brad Keller had a fine outing for Kane County with 7 strong innings with one run allowed. He's sporting a 2.68 ERA with 70 strikeouts and 23 walks over 87 innings. He was a high school draftee and is only 19 pitching in A ball so maybe we should be nervous about his future?
