The Mets promoted Kelly to the major leagues in his eighth pro season, in 2016, after 855 minor league games, and 3,063 minor league at bats. He was the starting third baseman for Team Israel at the 2017 World Baseball Classic. In April 2017, he was acquired by the Phillies, and in January 2018, he signed a contract to return to the Mets. In August 2019, Kelly announced his retirement from professional baseball.

In September 2019, he obtained Israeli citizenship. He played for Team Israel at the 2019 and 2023 European Baseball Championships.

On August 25, 2019, Kelly announced his retirement from professional baseball.[45] He humorously announced it on Twitter, as a four-time Pro Bowl football quarterback retired on the same day: "Andrew Luck trying to steal my retirement thunder.

Kelly was originally scheduled to play for Israel at the 2017 World Baseball Classic qualifier in September 2016, but was called up to the Mets at the time, so he could not play.[4][55] He started at third base for Team Israel at the 2017 World Baseball Classic in the main tournament, in March 2017.[56][57]

After Israel – ranked #41 in the world – defeated third-ranked South Korea by a score of 2–1 in 10 innings in the first game, Kelly tweeted: "Definitely the most stressful game I've ever been a part of. But it was worth it."[58] He wore an Israel Baseball band around his left wrist into the 2017 season.[59] Later in 2017, playing at the Marlins when they held Jewish Heritage Day, Kelly said "I had tears in my eyes, hearing the Israel national anthem."[60]

In September 2019, Kelly obtained Israeli citizenship and joined Team Israel for the 2019 European Baseball Championship in Germany in September 2019.[61][62][63] His becoming Israeli made his Jewish grandmother, Gail, who lives in Boca Raton, Florida, very proud. Kelly said: "I mean, she loves being Jewish. She talks about her Jewish upbringing all the time, so this is really exciting for her."[64]

He also played for the team at the Africa/Europe 2020 Olympic Qualification tournament in Italy in September 2019, which Israel won to qualify to play baseball at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[65] Kelly played shortstop and batted .176/.300/.294 in the tournament.[66]

Kelly played third base for Team Israel at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo in the summer of 2021, and tied for fourth-most at the Olympics with four walks.[67] He batted 1-for-16, and played error-less defense.[68]

Kelly played shortstop for Team Israel in the 2023 World Baseball Classic in Miami, in March 2023.[69][70][71] He played for Team Israel manager and former All-Star Ian Kinsler, and alongside All-Star outfielder Joc Pederson and pitcher Dean Kremer, among others.[70][71][72]

Kelly played third base and batted .222/.444/.278 for Team Israel in the 2023 European Baseball Championship in September 2023 in the Czech Republic.[73][74]
