Keaschall lettered in both baseball and wrestling in high school and turned in a terrific freshman season with San Francisco in 2021, when he hit .320/.406/.475 and was named the West Coast Conference freshman of the year. He had another solid sophomore campaign in 2022, showed a well-rounded offensive profile and multi-positional defensive ability in the Cape Cod League and transferred to Arizona State for the 2023 season. He excelled in the Pac-12 and in 55 games slashed .353/.443/.725 with a career-best 18 home runs and just an 11% strikeout rate. That added power came with a bit more chase than he has shown in the past, as Keaschall expanded the zone at a 31% rate in 2023, but he still made plenty of contact, with just a 17% miss rate. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Keaschall doesn’t have huge raw power despite his home run totals. Most of his in-game power went to the pull side and he averaged just 85 mph on average in exit velocity in 2023. Keaschall has played all over the infield in the past and has looked fine at second base, third base and in the outfield. This spring he’s been the everyday second baseman for Arizona State and should provide solid, if unspectacular, defense at a number of up-the-middle positions. He’s also an above-average runner.

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade: 50/High

Track Record: After winning West Coast Conference freshman of the year in the first of two excellent seasons at San Francisco, Keaschall transferred to Arizona State for his junior season. It paid off as he more than doubled his home run total while hitting .353. He made an immediate impact as a pro, got on base and stole 11 bags in 11 tries.

Scouting Report: Keaschall is a well-rounded player. He can play numerous positions and is an above-average runner, but it’s his bat that most interests evaluators. He has a long track record of hitting with a short and level swing that produces plenty of contact and low strikeout rates. He should be able to produce .270-.280 batting averages, low strikeout rates and plenty of doubles. His below-average power relies on him getting pitches to pull, but he showed more pop than expected with a wood bat in his pro debut. Keaschall played shortstop at San Francisco and second base at Arizona State, and second, third and center as a Twin. His funky arm action and fringe-average arm limit him in the infield, but his hands are soft and he makes the routine play.

The Future: Most who watch Keaschall seem to fall in love with his ability to make whatever team he plays for better. He seems to be a favorite of most scouts who see him. No one is sure exactly where he’ll end up defensively, but there’s plenty of belief he’ll hit and figure out a way to make an impact.
