High-Contact, High-OBP Table-Setter for High Point
In the 2026 season, Frank Kelly emerged as one of High Point’s most reliable infield anchors, starting 54 of 57 games and earning First Team All-Big South plus Academic All-America Second Team honors. His calling card is bat-to-ball control with real on-base juice—.319 average, .449 OBP, 33 walks, 13 steals, and 15 doubles—while also handling second base cleanly with a .963 fielding percentage. Add a team-first skill set, drag-bunt value, and enough speed to keep defenses honest, and he looks like a winning fit for a program that wants production, polish, and grit.
