BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS: From Vanderbilt to Houston to Wrigley to Oakland: Tony Kemp has gotten a taste of some of the more unique baseball systems in the game on his journey to/through the MLB, and it's starting to pay impactful dividends surpassing even his 2018 season with the Astros. Other than a couple of nice stints here and there and some quiet power/speed numbers, Kemp's MLB career reads rather pedestrian; but as of this past Friday, Kemp has eleven XBH (seven doubles, two triples, two home runs), three steals in four tries, and a .275/.392/.417 slash in 120 AB for the 2021 campaign, split pretty evenly between the outfield and second.

His 16.6% strikeout rate and 15.9% walk rate are bounds superior to the league average, and while his hard hit rate and average exit velocity won't garner an invite to the HR Derby, his 63.4% combined line drives and grounders maximize his odds of finding open grass, and then his base-running takes over to take extra bases, swipe bags, and score runs. With an excellent BA/OBP safety net, defensive versatility, and aggression on the base-paths for a first-place team, Tony Kemp is a sneaky addition with room to burgeon in deeper leagues.
