Description

Kevin Josephina is a free agent infielder most recently playing for the Atlanta Braves Organization. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Atlanta Braves in 2013 out of Willemstad, Curacao. After having played nine games in his debut-season (2014) for the Dominican Braves in the Rookie League, he was promoted to Single-A during the 2016 Season. It would be a forgetful season in which he rarely played and when the 17-year-old did take the field, he struggled at the plate. He still graduated the DSL and headed to the Gulf Coast League for 2015. He hit .272 over 85 plate appearances.

The following season, 2016, would give Josephina his first real chance to show what he was made up of. He began the season that June in the Appalachian League and over 13 games, he slashed .300/.333/.420 with a homer. His quick success was rewarded with a promotion to Rome. He continued to show a strong hit tool with a .271 average over his first 62 PA and also showed a bit of pop with a .170 ISO. He followed that up by hitting .264/.257/.333 in his final twenty games. Over 136 PA in Rome, Josephina walked all of zero times.

Josephina has an intriguing set of skills and potential that goes along with those skills that deserve a bit more coverage. He strikes out a bit too often, but if he can start showing more pop, walking a little more, and continue to showcase improved base-stealing ability, Josephina will become a great Braves prospect. He’s played mostly second base and shortstop to this point, but the belief was that he might outgrow shortstop and play third – where his arm looks strong enough. His potential could see him get a call-up to the big club in the next year.

In 2019 with the Florida Fire Frogs, Josephina played in 112 Games and collected 96 Hits for the Frogs. He also added 20 Doubles, 4 Triples and 34 Runs Batted In. For his effort, he was named an FSL Mid-Season All-Star.
