View Draft Report
Kemp is a workout fiend and could show well in pre-draft workouts thanks to his physicality and athleticism. He's busted out 38-inch vertical leaps and breathtaking 60 times (6.4 seconds) in workouts, as well as 4.0-second times to first base in games. He's also had trouble with hamstring injuries this spring, removing himself from games and not always running his best. Kemp has tape-measure raw power but inconsistent performance and effort this spring. He has shown aptitude with an improved swing, spreading out at the plate to achieve better balance. A Fresno State signee, Kemp carries significant risk but high reward.
