Sean Keys

The Seam

The Number Where It Was — A 23-year-old first baseman got his call in June, struck out thirteen times in thirty-six at-bats, and went back down. The board that grades Triple-A contact kept his bat ranked through all of it. In August, at Buffalo, the bat explained why. August 30, 2026

Scout’s note

Sean Keys's bat is louder than his line. His EV95 of 109.23 ranks 93rd percentile among the 504 AAA bats we track, and his MLB contact grade of 0.47 is the stronger number here — but 25 big-league games have yielded only a .197 average and a .570 OPS. The Huntington, New York, product was a fourth-round pick in 2024 who reached Toronto in under two years. The contact says he belongs; the results just haven't arrived yet.

Current signals

The read: Keys's EV95 of 109.2 sits in the 93rd percentile of the 504 AAA bats we track (median 104.9), and on the MLB value grid his contact grades at 0.47. Contact is what this board ranks and all it ranks — no name is held off it.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
