Otto Kemp

26-Year-Old Third Baseman3B
Philadelphia Phillies AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
An undrafted free agent signed by the Phillies back in 2022, Kemp impressed in 74 Triple-A games last season, slashing .310/.417/.570 with 16 homers and 13 steals. Injuries opened up playing time at the big-league level as well, but the 25-year-old failed to impress, hitting .234/.298/.411 with a modest eight homers and two steals in 62 contests. He did manage an impressive 12.1% barrel rate, but that couldn't offset a very poor combination of a 5.5 BB% and 30.7 K%. The whole package did add up to a nearly league-average 95 wRC+, but that's not enough for a regular role for a player who graded out poorly on defense everywhere except for first base. Kemp then underwent a pair of offseason surgeries on both his knee and shoulder, with his recovery timeline unclear. If he's good to go by spring training, he'll have a chance to earn a bench role, with at-bats potentially available on the short side of a platoon in left field if the Phillies think he can play passable defense there.

Analysis
Kemp has appeared in 10 games for the Phillies this season, during which he's managed just a .282 OPS through 22 plate appearances. He'll head back to the minors to get back on track, and Felix Reyes will come up from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.
