Kay doesn't have his pre-surgery feel, but he showed the makings of a back-end starter with three pitches that can be at least average. His fastball is the best of the three with easy low-90s velocity and average movement from a tough angle. The curveball and changeup can be more than average, but a lack of present feel limits the potential. If he can shore up his feel and command, the framework is there to be a back-end major league starter or left-handed specialist in the bullpen. He's behind developmentally and needs to move quickly.
