Kyle Kesel brings a tall, low-slot bullpen look to Miami (OH)
Kesel is a 6-foot-3 right-hander who arrived at Miami (OH) after two seasons at Wright State, where in the 2024 season he worked 16.1 innings with 14 strikeouts, then in the 2025 season logged five bullpen outings and 3 strikeouts in 2.2 innings. His calling card is a loose arm action and a late, tight slider that scouts have liked since high school, giving him a relief profile that can miss bats when the delivery is synced up. He looks like a fit for teams wanting an arm with strikeout upside and some projection, not a finished product.
