"Kingery returned to the majors this past season, getting into 19 games with the Angels. It marked his first MLB action in three years. His 29 MLB plate appearances were the most he logged in a season dating back to 2020. The former top Phillies prospect recored four hits with two walks and 11 strikeouts. He has a lifetime .227/.278/.382 batting line in nearly 1200 career plate appearances, almost all of which came in Philadelphia from 2018-19."
"He batted .228/.284/.402 while striking out in a quarter of his trips to the plate. It was a step back from his more impressive '24 season with the Phillies' top affiliate, when Kingery had a 25-25 season in the minors. The Cubs won't expect much offensively from the right-handed hitter. Kingery provides defensive versatility and plays anywhere on the diamond aside from first base and catcher. He's an above-average runner who'll compete for a spot on Craig Counsell's bench during Spring Training."
Scott Kingery signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago Cubs and will attend MLB camp as a non-roster invitee. He returned to the majors this past season with the Angels, appearing in 19 games and logging 29 plate appearances, his most in a season since 2020. Kingery owns a .227/.278/.382 career batting line across nearly 1,200 plate appearances, most with Philadelphia from 2018–19. At age 31 he spent most of the year at Triple-A Salt Lake, hitting .228/.284/.402 and striking out in roughly 25% of trips. He provides defensive versatility, can play every position except first base and catcher, is an above-average runner, and is expected to compete for a bench role with modest offensive expectations.
