I couldn't find any information at all on Kelly before he went to junior college. The Pirates signed him just before the DFE deadline. His JC stats were probably a little skewed because he appears to have played in a high-offense environment, but his ERA and opponents' BA were almost exactly average for his team. His first name is shown in some places as William. Kelly struggled in his brief GCL debut, although his last start was good. He finished the season on the injured list. He opened 2008 in the State College rotation but pitched poorly, struggling with his control. The Pirates placed him on the restricted list for the month of August for unknown reasons, but he came back for one game in September. He spent 2009 in the West Virginia bullpen, where he posted good BB and K rates but got hit hard. He had more trouble with RH batters, who hit .310 against him. He could move up to Bradenton in 2010.
