View Draft Report
Keith Renaud is the latest quality arm to come through the Franklin Pierce pipeline. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Renaud (whose twin brother Kevin also plays for the Ravens) is an accomplished college hitter (.359 with six homers this spring), but his future is on the mound. He went 6-2, 3.00 with 84 strikeouts and 26 walks in 63 innings this spring. He has good command of a 90-93 mph fastball and a 78-79 mph slider, and he'll mix in an average downer curveball and an occasional changeup. Renaud has a loose arm and a simple, smooth delivery that is somewhat unusual for a pitcher with his straight-over-the-top arm slot. He's an excellent athlete who fields his position well.
