Philadelphia Phillies infielder and outfielder Kody Clemens is one of the upcoming new talents in the world of baseball. He comes from a family of baseball players and is the youngest son of baseball legend Roger Clemens. He has three brothers, Koby, Kory, and Kacy, most of whom are following in the footsteps of their father.
Kody’s older brother is Koby Aaron Clemens. He is a former professional baseball player. Although selected by the Houston Astros in the 2005 draft, Koby spent most of his career in the minor leagues playing for teams like the Greeneville Astros, Tri-City Valley Cats, Lexington Legends, North Shore Honu, Salem Avalanche, Corpus Christi Hooks, Mayaguez Indians, and more. He often played exhibition games with his father Roger Clemens. After he retired from playing baseball, he started his own company called Koby Clemens Baseball Clinics.
Kody’s second brother, Kory Allen Clemens, works in the real estate business. Notably, Kory caused controversy when he was recently arrested by the police for a DWI charge.
Kacy Clemens, the third-oldest brother, currently plays for the Staten Island FerryHawks. He was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the eighth round of the 2017 amateur MLB draft.
Interestingly, all four of Roger Clemens’ sons' names begin with “K,” which signifies a strikeout in professional baseball.
