The Red Report 2019 - Matt Kemp

Matt Kemp can still hit. Matt Kemp can probably still hit. At 34 years old and counting, though, that might well be the lone thing he can do competently on a baseball roster, though, and even parts of his 2018 season make you wonder if that’s true.

Yes, he is fresh off a 506 PA season that saw him sock 21 homers, post a 120 OPS+, and make the All Star team, and that all jives pretty well with his career 122 OPS+ mark. His numbers were significantly better away from cavernous Dodger Stadium, too, meaning a chance to call GABP his new home might well make his overall offensive production look that much rosier in 2019.
