Matt Kemp has an OPS of 1.215.
Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs in 1998, with an OPS of 1.222.
Kemp’s tenure with the Rockies is an extremely small sample, but a .353/.450/.765 slash thus far suggests Colorado got him as a steal. His track record within the division has picked up where Rockies fans remember it against them: ”Finally, Kemp can terrorize teams in the National League West and not have that list include Colorado.”
We shouldn’t get too carried away with small sample sizes—but perhaps we can get a little excited.
