Seth Keener Responds Well After Poor Stretch
Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Seth Keener responded well on June 29 after posting a string of three consecutive poor performances. In this start he tossed six no-hit frames and allowed just one free pass. He struck out seven. Prior to this, the former third round selection allowed 11 earned runs in his previous 15 innings with a 1.60 WHIP. After getting a brief six inning taste of Single-A ball last summer, the 22-year-old has performed well this season with a 3.30 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 28:73 BB:K ratio. In addition, he has begun to showcase high-strikeout upside by striking out at least seven batters in five starts this season with a season-high of nine. Keener is considered the 15th best prospect in the White Sox system on MLB.com and is several seasons away from his major league debut.
