PENSACOLA, FL – Minor League Baseball announced Tuesday the 2025 Southern League award winners and All-Star team, with outfielder Kemp Alderman taking home All-Star honors for his standout season with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
Alderman, 23, was selected by the Marlins in the second round of the 2023 Draft out of the University of Mississippi and is currently rated the #10 prospect in the organization according to MLB Pipeline. In a team-leading 110 games for the Blue Wahoos in 2025, Alderman batted .282/.337/.447 with 15 home runs and 53 RBI. Though he was promoted to Triple-A Jacksonville with two weeks remaining in Pensacola’s season, Alderman finished second in the Southern League in slugging percentage (.447), third in total bases (184) and triples (5), fourth in OPS (.784), fifth in batting average (.282), tied for sixth in home runs (15), and seventh in hits (116).
Alderman was named Southern League Player of the Week three different times in 2025 (4/4-4/6, 5/27-6/1 and 7/29-8/3), setting a Blue Wahoos franchise record. He becomes the first Blue Wahoos player to earn Southern League postseason All-Star honors as an outfielder since Peyton Burdick in 2021, and just the third all-time (Josh Fellhauer, 2012).
