Kemp Kroencke  
First Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
I tell you, it's a real trip to watch this guy play. He gives 110% all the time... unfortunately that means he tends to run out of gas as the game wears on. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Kroencke when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Kroencke isn't a fluid first baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. Kroencke has below-average speed and is a poor baserunner.

2025 Outlook
Kroencke has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
