Matt Kemp, a celebrated former outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been inducted into the Hall of Pretty Good. He received an overwhelming 97% of the 39,900 votes cast, officially marking his entry into this unique online honor society.
The Hall of Pretty Good aims to recognize outstanding players whose careers, while excellent, did not meet the stringent criteria for Cooperstown. Kemp, originally drafted by the Dodgers in 2003, made his MLB debut in 2006.
He quickly established himself, particularly with his speed and power. His 2011 season was a standout, where he was named an All-Star and finished second in the National League MVP race, a performance many felt should have earned him the award.
Kemp had multiple stints with the Dodgers, including a return that helped the team reach the World Series in 2018. Over his 15-year career, he amassed 287 home runs, 1,031 RBIs, and 184 stolen bases, concluding his playing career in 2020.
