WASHINGTON - It may be easy to lose the name of Alec Keller in the starting lineup for Triple-A Rochester, the new top farm team of the Nationals.
But the Nationals certainly know the value of the veteran outfielder, who was drafted by Washington out of Princeton in the 17th round in 2014.
“A first-class individual,” Mark Scialabba, assistant general manager, player development for the Nats told Federal Baseball recently.
Keller worked his way up to Triple-A Fresno by 2019, then was a victim of the pandemic last year that called off the minor league season.
