Palm Beach backstop Carson Kelly posted a .996 fielding percentage in 104 games behind the plate for the Cardinals. The converted third baseman, in just his second year as a catcher, threw out 36 percent of base stealers (31 of 55) and allowed just six passed balls in 920.1 innings. Kelly, 21, the Cardinals' second round pick in 2012 out of Westview High school in Portland, Oregon, made just three errors, with all three coming on errant throws.
