Misner received regular playing action in the first part of 2025 before he slid back down the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>Misner, initially acquired in 2021 from the Marlins for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/wendljo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=newbaseballmedia.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-11-10_br\">Joey Wendle<\/a>, starred with the University of Missouri Tigers in college but struggled mightily with strikeouts. That carried over as a pro. Just two years ago, Misner struck out 186 times over 130 contests with Triple-A Durham.<\/p>\n<p>Over the first month of 2025, Misner performed very well. Through April 30, Misner slashed .320\/.369\/.560 with three home runs and 11 extra-base hits across 26 contests. His .390 wOBA ranked in the top 30 of MLB during that span (min. 75 PA).<\/p>\n<p>However, he batted sub-.200 in May and June and was eventually demoted back to Triple-A Durham.<\/p>\n<p>The left-handed Misner, as one would expect, is a high swing-and-miss hitter. Misner\u2019s swing, on average, is slightly longer than the league average.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" data-attachment-id=\"48790\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/newbaseballmedia.com\/2025-transactions-royals-trade-for-rays-outfielder-kameron-misner\/kameron-misner-whiff-2025-mlb\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newbaseballmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kameron-Misner-Whiff-2025-MLB.jpeg?fit=720%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,480\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kameron Misner Whiff 2025 MLB\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;MLB data only.&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newbaseballmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kameron-Misner-Whiff-2025-MLB.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newbaseballmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kameron-Misner-Whiff-2025-MLB.jpeg?fit=720%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newbaseballmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kameron-Misner-Whiff-2025-MLB.jpeg?resize=720%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kameron Misner whiff 2025 MLB\" class=\"wp-image-48790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newbaseballmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kameron-Misner-Whiff-2025-MLB.jpeg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newbaseballmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kameron-Misner-Whiff-2025-MLB.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MLB data only.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, the tools have been what\u2019s kept Misner a relevant figure.
