Travis Kelce as a baseball player: scouting report

Travis Kelce at first base makes sense the moment you think about his hands. He has spent his NFL career catching passes in traffic for the Kansas City Chiefs, earning eleven Pro Bowl selections on short throws, high throws and throws behind him, and every one of those is a scoop at first. His fielding is near the top of his card, so infielders can let it fly knowing the man at the bag will pick it clean.

The bat is better still. Contact is the best thing he does, which fits a player who made his name finding the soft spot in a zone and settling into it. Pair that with a sharp eye and he becomes a doubles machine who rarely gives away an at bat. He was a quarterback in high school and took wildcat snaps at the University of Cincinnati before settling at tight end, so he understands the view from the other side and reads a pitcher's plan the way he once read a coverage. His power is good rather than great, which makes him more of a run producer than a pure slugger at a position that usually wants home runs.

His arm is the soft spot, and first base is the one place on the diamond where that barely shows. He also owns three Super Bowl rings, and that comfort on the biggest stage carries over to a tight October game. Second base and designated hitter both suit him almost as well, so a drafter can slot him wherever the roster has a hole. Take him early, put a true slugger behind him in the order and let his contact keep the line moving.
