Kemp Alderman Fantasy Stats

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman is slumping at the wrong time, going 6-for-35 (.171) over his last 10 games at Triple-A Jacksonville with just one extra-base hit (a double). Perhaps most concerning is the strikeout rate, though, which stands at a high 32.5 percent for the year but came in at a whopping 41.0 percent during the recent 10-game slump. The Marlins' eighth-ranked prospect has big-time raw power and has tallied 18 home runs in 94 games for the Jumbo Shrimp this season, but the 6-foot-3 slugger doesn't look like he's going to force his way to the majors this season unless he turns things around in a hurry. The home run potential makes him intriguing for fantasy, but he'd be a drain on batting average, and with a low likelihood of getting called up at this point, the 24-year-old is more of a desperation stash for managers looking for power production.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman has some pop in his bat and has shown that with the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp this season. In 340 at bats with Jacksonville this year, Alderman has 18 homers and 56 RBI with 55 runs scored and a .259 batting average. He battled a left wrist injury that caused him to miss time in May and June. The 24-year-old is the No. 8 prospect for Miami with 60-grade power and a 45-grade hit tool. The power can play in the major leagues and look for a potential promotion at some point in September for Alderman. The batting average, however, could be a drag for fantasy managers, but that could be offset by his power potential and his ability to steal a few bases. He is a nice addition with upside in fantasy leagues to close out the season.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman is scuffling in August at Triple-A Jacksonville, going 6-for-43 (.140) in 12 games with a sky-high 37.5 percent strikeout rate. On the bright side, four of his six hits this month have gone for extra bases (one double, three home runs), but the prolonged slump is likely delaying any chance of a major league debut. The Marlins' seventh-ranked prospect possesses loads of power, with average exit velocity (93.7 mph), max exit velocity (114.6 mph), barrel rate (15.8 percent), and hard-hit rate (54.7 percent) all registering at 94th percentile or better at Triple-A, but it comes with a lot of swing-and-miss, with strikeout rate, whiff rate, and swinging-strike rate all coming in at 15th percentile or worse. Even so, for the season, the 6-foot-3 slugger is slashing a respectable .269/.350/.478 with 17 home runs and nine steals in 81 games for the Jumbo Shrimp. For managers in deep 14+ team leagues scouring the wire for home runs, the 23-year-old is a speculative stash option in an NA spot until his debut.

Miami Marlins first base/outfield prospect Kemp Alderman is having a rough August so far for Triple-A Jacksonville. In seven games this month, Alderman is hitting just .125 with one homer and five RBI. Altogether, he is 3-for-24 at the plate as he's cooled down a bit from a good, solid season at age 23 at Jacksonville. In 282 at-bats for Jacksonville, Alderman has 15 homers and 48 RBI while hitting .277. With the ability to play first base or the outfield, the right-handed hitter could potentially see time with the Marlins. The Marlins have a lot of depth at first base and the outfield but could look to Alderman for a potential spark despite his recent downturn. Alderman is graded out with 60-grade power and is the No. 7 prospect in the Marlins system. It could be worth taking a look at him just in case he is given a big-league opportunity late this season

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman is compiling a nice season with Triple-A Jacksonville with 14 homers and 45 RBI to go with 49 runs scored and seven stolen bases while hitting .281 in 270 at-bats. Alderman missed some time with an injury in May and June but has still produced a consistent season at age 23 at Triple-A. Alderman is the No. 7 prospect in the Marlins' system and boasts 60-grade power as shown by his 14 home runs in 72 games played. Miami has a lot of names in the outfield mix at the big league level, but Alderman's power could play at the MLB level. He is a name worth keeping an eye on the rest of the season in case he is called up to Miami. Fantasy managers will want to react quickly if he does get a chance to make his MLB debut because his power-speed combo could be a help for fantasy teams.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman blasted his 14th home run of the season on Wednesday in a two-hit effort for Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins' eighth-ranked prospect is hitting .326 in 12 July games for the Jumbo Shrimp, which has raised his season-long slash line to .295/.372/.515. The former second-rounder offered stolen base potential last year, recording 22 steals (20 of which came at Double-A), but is up to just six this year, and is still striking out at an elevated rate of 31.2 percent. The 22-year-old could make an MLB debut later this year, but he'll need to flex some more of his highly-rated power tool in order to make the strikeout rate (and corresponding low walk rate) worth it. For now, he looks like a high-risk, high-reward stash consideration for home runs in very deep redraft leagues given his proximity to the majors.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman continues to show well at Triple-A Jacksonville after a slow start to the year. The Marlins' eighth-ranked prospect hit just .197 over the season's first 19 games, but in the 42 games since then, he's batting .331. All in all, including the 20 games he spent at Triple-A last season, the former second-round draft pick is slashing .297/.365/.549 for the Jumbo Shrimp, with 20 home runs and eight steals across a combined 81 contests. With hard-hit rate, barrel rate, average exit velocity (EV), and max EV all coming in at 93rd percentile or better, it seems the only thing holding him back is a high chase rate (19th percentile) and a high strikeout rate (15th percentile). If he can show improvement in that area, the sooner he may get the call to the majors, but even if he doesn't, a debut in the big leagues before the year is out seems inevitable. Fantasy managers with an NA spot in 14-team leagues and deeper could consider stashing the 23-year-old for his power upside.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman has looked quite comfortable since returning from the Triple-A injured list earlier in June. Alderman was on the shelf for just over a month due to a wrist injury. However, this injury has not slowed down the former 47th overall pick out of Ole Miss, as he has carried a strong .284/.368/.478 line with one double and four home runs over his last 18 contests. During this stretch, Alderman has struck out a hefty 23 times, but has continued to flash upside with his bat. On the season, the team's No. 8-ranked prospect has posted a sharp .297/.374/.511 line with six doubles, 13 home runs, and six stolen bases. Even with Owen Caissie on the injured list, the recent emergence of Heriberto Hernandez has potentially delayed Alderman's MLB debut. However, if he maintains this pace, the Marlins could turn to him to add a spark to their lineup as they look to remain in the NL playoff picture.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman has looked a bit rusty since returning from the injured list, going 3-for-19 (.158) in the five games since rejoining Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins' eighth-ranked prospect missed about a month with a fractured wrist, and had been hitting well before the injury, still sitting with a solid .287/.365/.503 slash line, even including the last five unproductive games. The concerning part is the fact that 50 percent of his plate appearances since his return have been strikeouts (11 out of 22), so he'll need to get that under control before he starts hitting for average again. Once he does, though, an MLB debut may not be too far off. Last season, the former second-rounder hit 22 home runs and stole 22 bases, and has shown that ability so far this year with 10 long balls and five steals through 45 games. If he can get back on track, the 23-year-old could be stash-worthy in deeper leagues for his ability to be a multi-category contributor on a team that has been hot lately, with the best record in June so far (14-4).

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman (wrist) has returned from the seven-day injured list and is back in action with the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the team announced on Tuesday. Alderman, 23, landed on the IL back on May 24 after fracturing his left wrist when he collided with a baserunner at first base. The former second-round pick in 2023 out of the University of Mississippi was hitting an impressive .303/.376/.526 with a .903 OPS, nine home runs, 23 RBI, 29 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 40 games and 170 plate appearances with Jacksonville before missing time with his wrist injury. Now that Alderman is back in action on the arm, fantasy managers in deeper leagues may want to consider adding the right-handed-hitting outfielder. Per MLB Pipeline, Alderman is Miami's No. 9 prospect. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder is a power over hit prospect who will need to cut down on his chase rate at the plate if he wants to succeed immediately at the major-league level whenever he's called up. If he continues to swing the bat well, a second-half call-up to the Fish is entirely possible.
