The Black Knights led the Patriot League in both hits (484) and runs scored (328) in 2021.
 
Prior to Army, Keener was a student assistant coach at Michigan during the 2019 season, helping lead the Wolverines to the program's eighth trip to the NCAA College World Series and its third-ever trip to the CWS Finals, finishing as the national runner-up. Michigan was fourth in the nation in doubles (150), and seventh in total hits (685), eighth in walks (354) and 10th in runs scored (487). Additionally, Michigan hitters led the Big Ten in batting average, on-base percentage, stolen bases, runs scored, doubles and walks.
 
Keener has also served as the head coach of the South Florida Sailfish in the Collegiate League of the Palm Beaches, a summer collegiate league.
