Buddy Kennedy is currently in the midst of a monumental spring training as the 24-year-old 2nd baseman/3rd baseman fights for a spot on the Diamondbacks’ 40-man roster.
Through 21 games, Kennedy leads all of Arizona’s offense in hits with 14 base knocks. His .424 batting average is only behind Padres’ shortstop Tim Lopes at the top of the spring training stats.
Kennedy was drafted out of high school by the Diamondbacks in the fifth round of the 2017 draft. For five-straight seasons, he bounced around in the minor leagues before finally being brought up for his major league debut in June of last season.
