“We'll go as far as he takes us as our ace,” said Carteret coach Dan Morvay, noting that Kee has good grades and is a team captain. “Always look to him to be a stopper and to beat big teams out of division.”

He throws in the low '80s and has a command of four pitches with the ability to locate on both sides of the plate. Kee also plays second base when he’s not pitching.

So to answer the original question, well, one thing is sure – he could do a lot.
