Former Houston Astros prospect Jon Kenner has died in a car accident at age 35.
After his playing career, he became a coach for the 14U HTX Battle Bucks in the Houston area. He was driving home from a practice when his car veered off the road. His car hit a utility pole and flipped over. The Galveston County Medical Examiner’s Office said he died upon impact. His former team made a statement about his death.
“We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Jon Kenner over the weekend,” the Astros said. “Jon was drafted by the Astros in 2013 and developed into one of the organization’s most productive players, advancing to the Triple-A level and also appearing in several spring training games. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jon’s family and friends during this very difficult time.”
