Kellin Lee Deglan (born May 3, 1992) is a Canadian professional baseball catcher for the Texas Rangers organization. Drafted out of R.E. Mountain Secondary high school in 2010 by the Rangers.[7]
Despite not being able to play high school baseball, Deglan gained enough attention playing with the Langley Blaze of the wood-bat British Columbia Premier Baseball League (which had produced Justin Morneau, a big left-handed-hitting catcher himself when drafted) and with the Canadian Junior National Team to be drafted 22nd overall by the Texas Rangers in the 2010 amateur draft. He signed for a below-slot bonus of $1 million. Baseball America viewed Deglan as a second or third round talent, praising his defense and power potential but seeing concerns about his overall offensive profile.
Beginning his professional career in 2010 as an 18-year-old with the AZL Rangers in the rookie class Arizona league, Deglan spent all of 2013 with the High-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans, but was reurned to Class-A Hickory Crawdads for 2014.
Deglan was a member of Team Canada for the 2013 World Baseball Classic – Qualification tournament, appearing in the Sept 22 game against Germany as a defensive replacement.[8]
