Story summary

Matt Kimbrel, 36, died on Saturday after a motorcycle crash in Huntsville, Alabama. He was traveling at high speed when he hit a dump truck exiting Highway 432 around 8 a.m., unable to slow down in time. An investigation is underway but no criminal charges are expected. Kimbrel played minor league baseball after being drafted by the Atlanta Braves, though never made it to the majors like his brother Craig Kimbrel, who won Rookie of the Year with the Braves in 2011 and later pitched for teams including the San Diego Padres before moving on to other clubs. Matt was engaged to be married to Genevieve, whom he proposed to at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
