At pick #763 in the 25th round, the Cleveland Indians have selected left-handed pitcher Kellen Rholl out of Angelo State.

Born: 5/13/96 — Height: 6' 3'' Weight: 200 — Bats: Left — Throws: Left

Jeff Ellis: Kellen Rholl was the closer at Angelo State this past season. He is a 6’3” senior lefty who pitched at the D2 level. He was not a control specialist like a lot of the other arms in this class, and he is also bigger than most of them too. He did strike out a lot of batters, and teams can always use more lefties so he looks like an interesting development lefty late in the draft, who will give them a lefty in the pen in Mahoning Valley if they have Lingos start for them. Sometimes picks are taking a guy that you like to fill a role in the minors, and that could be the case here.

Press Release: Named 2018 ABCA/Rawlings All-Region First Team after leading the team with 25 relief appearances, fanning 40 batters in 29.0 innings...went 3-3 on the season with a 3.72 ERA (12 ER/19.0 IP).
