Kemp Reports Early To Spring Training, Meets With Davey Lopes
DODGER NOTES -- Matt Kemp reported early to camp and wasted no time acquainting himself with First Base Coach Davey Lopes for some baserunning pointers.
Lopes joins the Dodger coaching staff after four seasons with the Phillies and will serve as the club's baserunning and outfield instructor in addition to his on-field responsibilities.
From 2007-10, Lopes coached the Phillies to a Major League-best 84.3 cumulative stolen base percentage (501 SB/93 CS) with the club leading the Majors in that category in each of his four seasons, including a big league single-season record of 87.9% (138 SB/19 CS) in 2007.
