Carson Kelly of Westview High School, the 2011 Oregon 6A Player of the Year, has signed with the Corvallis Knights for the 2012 season, Knights president Dan Segel announced Monday.

A 6-foot-2, 200-pound shortstop/right-handed pitcher, Kelly hit .473 in 2011, with 14 homers, 51 RBIs and a .973 slugging percentage for the state-champion Wildcats. He was also 9-1 as a pitcher, with a 1.64 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 64 innings.

Kelly was selected to play in the UnderArmour All-American Baseball Game at Wrigley Field last August. He was also named to the 2011 USA Baseball U-18 National Team for the COPABE Junior AAA/18U Pan American Championships in Cartagena, Columbia.

He has signed with the University of Oregon and should be an early selection in the major-league draft this June.

The Knights are the defending West Coast League champions. They open the season June 1 at Walla Walla; their home opener is June 5 against Klamath Falls.
