Matt Kemp Watch 2012 0504

This is the third segment of Matt Kemp Watch 2012. I am tracking his progress towards reaching his self proclaimed goal of 50/50 this season. It will be weekly at the beginning of the season and become more frequent at the end if necessary. 


So far this season he is hitting .407/.495/.846 with 12 home runs and 25 RBI. After the All Star break I may add a Triple Crown tracker to this segment. 


Good luck Mr. Kemp. We're rooting for you to make history.


Games Played: 26


Home Runs: 12 ---- Projected Home Runs: 75
