The Sussex County Miners are pleased to announce that pitcher Kellen Brothers has re-signed for the 2026 season.

Last season, the 6’3” right-hander from Gridley, CA, started 18 games for the Miners. He went 8-5 with a 4.50 ERA and struck out 80 batters. Kellen was second on the team in starts (18), innings pitched (104), and wins (8, tied for fourth place in the Frontier League). The 25-year-old has a deep arsenal of pitches, including a slider, changeup, curveball, and fastball with movement.

Kellen signed his first professional contract with the Miners in 2024 after an impressive career at Oklahoma Wesleyan University in Bartlesville, OK.
