Cedar Rapids Jefferson shortstop Kellen Sweeney and Cedar Rapids Xavier pitcher Jon Keller took part Monday in Perfect Game USA's Pre-Draft Showcase. Some of the top talent in the nation showed off for a plethora of major league scouts.
The MLB draft is June 7-9, with Sweeney and Keller both expected to be selected relatively high.
Here is video of Keller. He threw two innings Monday, regularly pitching in the low-90s.
"Not terrible," Keller said of his pitching.
