2024 Fantasy Outlook
Clemens hit .145/.197/.308 for the struggling Tigers as a 26-year-old rookie in 2022, so it was something of a surprise that the defending National League champions elected to acquire him in January. He didn't make the Phillies' Opening Day roster but was called up just a week into the season after Darick Hall suffered a thumb injury. Clemens spent the bulk of the first half on the large side of a platoon at first base, but his .230/.277/.367 slash line and 73 wRC+ better suited a backup catcher than a regular at a corner position. Unsurprisingly, he found himself optioned in early July and never returned to the majors. Clemens' .256/.373/.56 slash line with 18 homers in 62 Triple-A games indicates he has little left to prove in the minors, but a strong Triple-A showing from a 27-year-old shouldn't be taken to mean that a big-league breakout is on the horizon. Clemens has shown poor plate discipline in 106 career MLB games, combining a 26.5 K% with a 5.8 BB%, and he hasn't made much quality contact, posting a 5.9% barrel rate. Read Past Outlooks

Homers, doubles in season debut
3BPhiladelphia Phillies
April 22, 2024
Clemens went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double during Monday's 7-0 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Clemens filled the role of Bryce Harper (personal) rather admirably, earning the start at first base and contributing two extra-base hits. Following his double in the fourth, Clemens capped his day with a three-run homer over the wall in right center on a full count in the ninth to help rubber stamp the Phillies' win. Despite the performance, Clemens may not remain in Philly for much longer, as Harper should return from the paternity list in a few days, likely signaling Clemens' return to Triple-A.

March 19, 2023
Clemens is part of a five-way battle for Philadelphia's final two roster spots, shares Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Clemens debuted with the Phillies last season, but the 26-year-old went 17-for-117 with 33 strikeouts versus eight walks. However, that .145/.197/.308 slash line isn't impacting his spring training, as Clemens has boomed to a .313/.389/.625 start across 36 plate appearances.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Known for his famous father, seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, Kody Clemens can now say he made it to the majors as well after debuting in 2022. The younger Clemens appeared in 57 games for the Tigers and proceeded to slash .145/.197/.308 with five homes runs and 17 RBI. He was better at the Triple-A level, as he posted an .862 OPS for Toledo with 13 long balls across 60 games. Clemens also played well at Triple-A in 2021, so he doesn't have much more to prove in the minors, but the question now is whether he can consistently hit MLB pitching. A third-round pick in 2018, Clemens will turn 27 during the 2023 season, so we should have some answers to that question soon. He was traded to the Phillies by the Tigers in January, and his move to a contender clouds his path to have everyday role, though Bryson Stott certainly has yet to establish himself as a clear starter at second base. Clemens can also play at first and third base, as well as in the outfield, so a utility role may be in his future. He is mostly off the fantasy radar for now, but he could see his outlook improve during the season, though he made need an infield injury to see much of an opportunity.
