William Kempner RHP. DOB: 6/18/2001. 6'0", 222 lbs. Drafted 2022 Round 3
2022(College): 2-1, 3.00, 36 IP, 12.0 K/9, 5.3 BB/9.
2022(2 levels): 1-0, 5.00, 9 IP, 11.0 K/9, 6.0 BB/9.
Kempner is from San Jose but went to college at Gonzaga. Interesting that his college K/BB is almost identical to his pro debut, albeit SSS. We'll see if a winter of tinkering by the Giants pitching mavens can lower the walk rate.

Lonsway has always had terrific stuff going back to college. Prone to bouts of wildness. Could move up fast if he tames those.

Tall pitcher with an over-the-top delivery. I've liked him from college days. Missed most of season with thoracic outlet surgery. I don't have any numbers but my impression is that outcomes from thoracic outlet surgery are not great. It does not seem promising that all of his appearances came in the month of July.(found a report he left the July 26 game with an injury after facing 1 batter and did not pitch again the rest of the season.

2022(A): .255/.298/.346, 4 HR, 4.7 BB%, 24 K%, 408 PA.
Big kid with a sweet swing. Power has never come around. 3 true outcomes without the power is not a great profile for a hitter.

Just 22 yo after kicking around the lower reaches of the Giants farm system seemingly forever. Physically small and the BA is a bit empty.

Draws a lot of walks but with a low BA and has shown no power. That's not going to play for a guy who is limited to 1B and DH. Hate to give up on a 2'nd round draft pick but expectations have to be quite tempered at this point.
Happy New Year! I thought Kempner was an interesting 3rd round pick. He throws sidearm with a mid 90's fastball. Not many pitchers have that profile, must be an uncomfortable at bat for right hand hitters. It's up to their pitching coaches to fix his command issues, but that's what the low minors are for.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should make it DrBs top 100, not sure what to think of lineup.
ReplyDeleteLonsway is a guy I think could make it. He makes me think of Barry Zito because of the big curve, but also Damian Moss and his lefty control issues that held him back. I am rooting for him
