Matt Kemp Showing Just How Good He Can Be...

In wrapping up his winter league playing time in the Dominican Winter League championship series, Matt Kemp singled in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning of the third game in this best of seven championship series. His single brought his team, the Tigres del Licey their first win against the Aguilas Cibaenas, whom they trail two games to one. Licey won the game, 3-2.

On Monday, Kemp drove in both of Licey's runs in a one sided, 7-2 loss. The young Dodger prospect has been one of the better, more consistent batters in the Dominican Republic this winter. He batted .265 with 12 runs batted in in his 19 playoff games.

This is definitely a pleasant showing after Kemp had such a slow start to this year's winter leagues and faded fast last season. Hopefully he has fixed his mechanics and can be a contributor in the near future.
