Casey Patrick Kelly (born October 4, 1989) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants, and Cincinnati Reds. He has also played in the KBO League for the LG Twins. He was a first-round draft choice, 30th overall, in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft by the Boston Red Sox.

Kelly was the top minor league prospect in the Red Sox organization when he was acquired by the San Diego Padres after the 2010 season, along with three other prospects, in exchange for All-Star player Adrián González. He made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut with San Diego in 2012, but underwent Tommy John surgery the following year. Kelly was traded to the Atlanta Braves after the 2015 season.

Professional career

=Boston Red Sox=

Kelly was drafted in the first round, 30th overall, in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft by the Boston Red Sox. He was drafted as a pitcher, though he wanted to play shortstop. Kelly was also offered a scholarship to play football for the University of Tennessee, as he was a two-time regional player of the year as a quarterback at Sarasota High School. Kelly chose baseball over football and signed with the Red Sox for a $3 million signing bonus, $700,000 more than the sixth player in the draft received.{{cite news|last=Norcross |first=Don |title=Kelly and Rizzo off to impressive starts for Padres |date=March 11, 2011 |newspaper=San Diego Union-Tribune |url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/mar/09/kelly-and-rizzo-off-to-impressive-starts/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110313065738/http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/mar/09/kelly-and-rizzo-off-to-impressive-starts/ |archive-date=March 13, 2011 |url-status=dead }}
