PROSPECT: Colt Keith, 3B, Detroit Tigers
ANALYSIS: In the shortened 2020 draft, a number of quality high school players made it to college that normally would have been drafted in the 6th through 15th rounds of the draft. Keith looked to be headed in that direction until the Tigers plucked him with their fifth-round pick.
Keith had a strong showing with the bat in his pro debut, then injuries shortened his 2022. He hit very well in the Arizona Fall League (.344/.463/.541 in 80 PA) to put himself back on the radar, then he opened 2023 in Double-A and played well, but not elite, in April, hitting .286/.358/.464 with three home runs in the first month.
Since the calendar turned to May, Keith has been a monster, hitting .347/.417/.674 with 11 home runs over 163 plate appearances. He's also shown solid defensive skills at the hot corner. With a hole at third at the big league level, Keith has a chance to find his way in Detroit by season's end if he can keep up the improvement on both sides of the ball.
VERDICT: Keith has only had one thing slow him down in his career, and that's injury. Sadly, he's recently been announced to be working through some throwing issues and that could slow his ascent to the majors. He should be owned in all dynasty leagues, however, as he's absolutely a guy that will compete in 2024 for a starting job.
