Many people outside of the Astros prospect die-hards may not know who Jon Kemmer is because he is not on MLBPipeline’s Houston Astros top-30 prospect list. Despite not being on the popularity list, he is making his name for himself with his on-field performance in 2015. Baseball-Reference lists Kemmer as an outfielder, designated hitter, and first baseman, but he has primarily played outfield in left and right. He has only played three games at first with the Corpus Christi Hooks this season.
Kemmer was drafted in the 21st round of the 2013 MLB Draft from Brewton-Parker College (Georgia).
