Maybe Lindor got him once as a Met?  I forget exactly which years Kimbrel was in the AL versus the NL once he left Atlanta.

Francisco Lindor has no fear of Craig Kimbrel having put up an eye-popping .375 / .444 / .875 // 1.319 line in nine trips to the plate.  His lone Franciscobomb (and lone RBI) for that matter, though, came in 2017 as a Cleveland Native American.

Asdrubal Cabrera is almost forgotten now, but he showed some good Metly power during the Kimbrel Era.

The next time Asdrubal Cabrera reaches against Craig Kimbrel will be the first time, having gone 0-4 against the future Hall-of-Fame candidate.  He never faced Craig as a Met, with his tenure in Flushing pretty much perfectly aligning with Kimbrel's tenure as a Red Sock.

Bretty Baty is the name we are looking for!!

Late in the 2023 season, Kim Brr Ill came on for the Phillies looking for the save, and was undone by a one out homerun from Baty.  Yeah, the Phils went on to win in extra innings due to a stupid, stupid rule, but it was still an act of regional heroism.

As four different posters got our four different answers, I am declaring Coo to be our Craig Kwizbrel winner!

Thanks for playing!
