In just nine games with the Peoria Javelinas, Alderman hit .306 (11-for-36) with six home runs, eight RBI, and eight runs scored. His 1.208 OPS and .833 slugging percentage were the second highest in the league, and he was one of four players to hit six home runs despite playing in far fewer games.

MLB Pipeline’s Jonathan Mayo on Alderman:
“Alderman only played in nine games because he had the audacity to get married in the middle of the AFL season, but what he did in his brief time was certainly noteworthy. He hit six homers in just 36 at-bats, so it’s easy to think he would have challenged Briceño for the home run title.”
Kemp Alderman homered five times in his first four Arizona Fall League games and might have the most raw power of anyone in the desert.

MLB Pipeline’s Jesse Borek on Alderman:
“Batters love hitting in the Arizona Fall League. But how much did Marlins No. 12 prospect Kemp Alderman want to be in the desert? He squeezed in a stint with Peoria right before his nuptials.
Alderman slugged six homers in nine contests before leaving the circuit to get married and go on his honeymoon. After a broken left hand took a chunk out of his regular season, he made up for lost time by going deep in four straight games to open the season, including a 119.5 mph rocket that clocked in as the league’s hardest-hit ball. It was just 40 plate appearances, but his .528 ISO was a glimpse into the gargantuan power that the 2023 second-rounder possesses."
