(Photo by Keith Gillett\/Icon Sportswire)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ALLENTOWN, Pa. \u2014 As a member of the Omaha Storm Chasers, <strong>Kameron Misner<\/strong> blitzed Triple-A Lehigh Valley with a 5-for-12 hitting performance across the three-game sweep out of the All-Star break. After falling victim to his hot streak, the IronPigs can now call Misner one of their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Phillies acquired the 28-year-old outfielder from the Royals on Saturday for cash considerations and immediately optioned him to Triple-A. This was good news for IronPigs manager <strong>Chris Adamson<\/strong>, who said he\u2019s \u201cbeen a Misner guy for a couple of years,\u201d although he wished the trade was made about a week earlier when homered in his first at-bat of the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s got a lot of different facets to his game that make him a really exciting player,\u201d Adamson said. \u201cHe can leave the yard, he can steal a base, he can bunt, he can play above average center field. For us, it\u2019s going to be a definite upgrade for our team and it\u2019s going to add some versatility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Misner, the 72 hours between his designation for assignment by the Royals and his trade to the Phillies brought on a lot of uncertainty. He explained he previously went through a similar experience when he was traded to Kansas City from the Rays in November after a four-day buffer following his DFA. Having now been traded three times since being drafted 35th overall by the Marlins in 2019, Misner knows that any time he\u2019s moved is out of his control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI went home, got away from baseball for a couple days, and here we are packing stuff back up in different colors but same cleats,\u201d Misner said. \u201cJust got to lace them up and play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also knows there\u2019s positives to meeting all the faces in a new clubhouse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou meet different guys, you work out with different guys on the team and different coaches,\u201d he said. \u201cYou kind of take some from everybody and just continue to grow as a player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A left-handed hitter, Misner hit .286\/.378\/.563 with 14 home runs in 63 games for Omaha earlier this season. He was promoted to the majors in June and slashed .220\/.256\/.244 in 44 plate appearances across 18 games for the Royals. Misner has a career .206\/.259\/.312 slash line across three seasons with the Rays and Royals, while batting .249\/.367\/.449 over seven seasons of minor-league ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Misner\u2019s strengths lie in his defense, which he said he takes a lot of pride in, and also does \u201ca lot of good things\u201d when he gets on base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wish you could steal first base, but you can\u2019t,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Misner made his IronPigs debut on Wednesday in a ninth-inning pinch-hit situation for <strong>Robert Moore<\/strong>, and he knocked down a two-out single on a full count to extend the game. When he is in the lineup, however, Adamson said Misner will hit \u201ceither at the top or somewhere in the middle,\u201d and will offer a \u201cslightly more dynamic way\u201d of putting the lineup together. Misner hit his first home run for the IronPigs on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs long as we\u2019re looking after our own backyard, and once we go out there, we just leave it all out there and do whatever best suits the team, I think we\u2019ll be in an OK spot,\u201d Adamson said. \u201cRight now there\u2019s a lot of excitement, it\u2019s a good thing to have him in our uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main challenge for Misner will be staying in the moment. Luckily for him, the IronPigs have faced off against him enough to know what kind of player they\u2019re getting out of him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe coaching staff reiterated that they want me to go out there and continue what you\u2019ve been doing, and there\u2019s no pressure or nothing like that,\u201d Misner said. \u201cJust show up, play and have fun doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/philliesnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/phillies-nation-logo-transparent.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/philliesnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/phillies-nation-logo-transparent.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Phillies Nation\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--article-ad--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--comments-button--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--comments-->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Royal Kameron Misner is now with the IronPigs.
