Jeremy Kehrt (born December 21, 1985) is a pitcher who is a free agent. Listed at 6' 2", 190 lb., he bats and throws right handed.

Kehrt was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 47th round of the 2008 MLB Draft out of University of Southern Indiana. He is very confident on the mound and can be best described as a finesse pitcher with a very good control who attacks hitters. He throws his four-seam fastball comfortably in the 91 mph range and can even touch 93 mph. His two-seam fastball sits around 87–88 mph with a harder tail than his four-seam, which also mixes in a mid-80s splitter with nice sink and a 77–80 mph slider, giving him four pitches that he will use to work hitters and keep them off balance.[1] Kehrt opened 2014 at Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox. On August 10, 2014, he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers and assigned to Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts. He was assigned to the AA Tulsa Drillers of the Texas League to start the 2015 season[2] and was named to the mid-season All-Star team.[3] He made 22 starts for Tulsa and was 7–8 with a 4.14 ERA.[4] He returned to Tulsa to start the 2016 season.[5] He split the season between Tulsa and the AAA Oklahoma City Dodgers, appearing in 25 games (22 starts) with a 8–11 record and 5.61 ERA.[4]
