Shane Kemp was a low round draft pick in the 2015 draft. Originally an outfielder at Kirkwood Community College, Kemp moved to the mound full time when he transferred to George Washington in 2015. The Pittsburgh Pirates liked the projectability of Kemp, and decided to take s chance on the young right hander. Kemp, who’s head coach in college was former Pirates hitting coach Greg Ritchie, caught the eyes of the Bucs in his senior season. Thus, the Bucs invested a 26th round pick in him, hoping to continue his development on the mound. So far, it seems to be heading in the right direction.
