Astros minor leaguer Tony Kemp, a second baseman at Class AA Corpus Christi, got his first start in the outfield this season Monday night, thanks in part to his hot start at the plate that has the organization looking for a way to find a spot for his bat given the glut of middle infielders at the upper levels and in the majors.
In just his 10th game in the outfield in 217 pro games, Kemp acquitted himself quite well, turning in this highlight-reel catch to rob Tulsa’s Luis Mateo of extra bases during the sixth inning of Corpus Christi’s 2-1 loss at Whataburger Field.
