Uncommitted. Kemp has made some big strides since the summer. The lower half looks much stronger, and has really helped him at the plate. The swing is smooth and effortless from the left side with easy timing/rhythm. The hands stay through the zone with a level barrel that produces consistent contact. He is riding a 11 game hit streak, and came up with a big hit to tie the game in a pivotal region series. The glove works in the field, and can be an everyday second baseman or even slide over to 3rd. He is athletic and ranged well with a quick and easy arm action.

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 150 pounds. This is another shining example of why this team is so good. There is so much depth and young talent. But with Kemp, you get a ridiculous amount of versatility. He can play nearly any position on the field at a high level for his age, and has some of the better instincts you'll find. This would be a starting SS on most teams in GHSA, but he just happens to be a year behind arguably the best defensive SS in the state. Not only can he play all positions in the infield, he could do the same on the grass. He moves well and will only get faster as he gets stronger. He has a cannon for his age, clocking in at 86 mph across the infield at our UGA Campus Tour Showcase. At the plate, he’s consistently on time with high quality arms and makes for a seriously competitive AB. Not only does he have a good eye, but he can waste pitches to run up pitch counts and wear opposing arms down until they hang something. You could say he’s a pesky hitter, but with plenty of gap to gap pop. It will be exciting to see him grow throughout this season and see how much better he is when playoffs roll around.

Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-11, 145-pounds. Medium frame, wiry strong.
Hits: LHH. Fluidity in hands w/ very repeatable launch position. Good hip pace, controls body well. Shorter, knob led path that gets barrel angle late. Turns barrel in tight space well. Would like to see hands stay inside ball more consistently. An inside out swing would add whole new element to his game not only for outer half pitches, but for big velo deflections middle in.
Power: 82 max exit velocity, averaged 68.6 MPH. 300' max distance. Pull side doubles, mixture of top spin and back spin.
Arm: RH. INF-85 mph.OF-85 mph. Quick, short circle arm action 3/4 slot. All throws carry with accuracy.
Defense: High energy, well focused. Advanced footwork, exchange, arm for age.
Run: 7.37 runner in the 60.
