Matt Kemp doubles twice Thursday
by Elliott Baas | Fri, Mar 1st 1:15am EST
Matt Kemp went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, two RBI, and a run scored in the Reds' 10-8 spring loss to the Brewers on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
Kemp hit third and played DH in this game, but unfortunately neither of those things are likely to happen for him during the regular season. He did put up another solid year in 2018 with the Dodgers, posting an .818 OPS and 21 homers in 506 PA. His .527 xSLG and career-high 15.8 degree average launch angle make a move from Dodger Stadium to Great American Ballpark interesting, but Kemp needs to find his way into the lineup first. He'll probably platoon with Scott Schebler and only play against lefties, at least to start the season. That makes Kemp an NL-only or deep mixed league play unless circumstances change.
