Kemp will make his on-air debut this week, as the A’s take on the Astros. A fifth-round selection by Houston in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, he played in parts of four Major League seasons with the Astros from 2016–19, and with the A’s from 2020–23, as part of a nine-year Major League career.
The four-time Roberto Clemente Award nominee announced his retirement on May 15. Throughout his playing career, Kemp was known for his work off the field, including his commitment to HCP Cureblindness and Players for the Planet, and his creation of the +1 EFFECT, an initiative to inspire honest conversations about racism and social injustice.
