The 2025 season has been full of memorable achievements for Philadelphia Phillies rookie Otto Kemp. In June, the rookie utility man accomplished every player's dream by reaching the big leagues in an unconventional way, as an undrafted free agent. Though he failed to hit his way into a backup role in the majors after an impressive start, Kemp is once again thriving for the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs and setting records along the way.

Kemp has torn up Triple-A pitching this season, hitting .315/.417/.581 with 15 home runs. His stellar season got even more impressive, as he's now the owner of an IronPigs franchise record, although it's a painful one.
