Kemp Alderman

As the Marlins continue to accumulate young outfield talent, Alderman's path to an early 2026 MLB debut is becoming less clear. However, he had an impressive and under-the-radar run at Triple-A to close 2025 that makes him a nice flyer in dynasty and draft-and-hold leagues. Alderman, who made a name for himself with his exit velocities at the 2023 draft combine, may have just been beating up on worn down late-season pitching at Triple-A, but he managed a .303 average, seven home runs, two steals and a 160 wRC+ in 20 games. His .333 BABIP and 26.8 percent strikeout rate don't sound any alarms, given the amount of damage he can do. Prior to getting to Triple-A, Alderman hammered 15 homers with 20 steals and a 130 wRC+ in 110 games at Double-A. He cut his groundball rate from 54.2 percent at Double-A to 36.4 percent at Triple-A to unlock the power breakout. Alderman is an average defender in right field, thanks to a plus arm and solid speed for a player his size. While the Marlins have four or five power-first corner outfielders on the roster, Alderman fits right in with that group and has the talent to emerge with a regular role by season's end.
