"He was, for me, the unknown hero of this team. You are not playing in the closer role in the enclosure of the Lights, and you do not get much credit but what he did for this team ... His contribution was really noted and a large part of our success."Keller signed a one-year contract with Chicago before the season and was put in training in the spring as a non-response. Keller instantly made an impression with his fast animated ball sitting around 97 MPH, significantly higher than the 93.7 MPH he has on average last season.He made the list of major spring leagues and took advantage of his opportunity. Keller's aimless release on Saturday was his consecutive 18th appearance without abandoning a race. He allowed a race on July 12 for the last time against New York Yankees."It's always the same work. We must always go there and put zeros each time we are called."Brad Keller has an MPM of 0.00 in 16 releases from the stars break. pic.twitter.com/e1Ghsujsm6- Marquee Sports Network (@watchmarquee) August 30, 2025 Keller is well placed to publish the best season of his career and could earn a good salary during the offseason.First of all, however, he will have to continue his success in the enclosure of the Chicago readers and to help Cubs reach the playoffs for the first time since 2020.More MLB: the Alex Bregman competition: Tigers could be perfect for $ 120 million superstar
