A look at Kiermaier’s 2023 season
The Blue Jays signed Kevin Kiermaier to a one-year free-agent contract in December 2022. He got $9 million . Kiermaier had spent his 10-year MLB career with the Rays. He was coming off a season where he was limited to 63 games and a career-low .649 OPS. I felt he would likely be a fourth/outfielder or platoon outfield. I thought he would top out at 100ish games. I was happy the signing signalled that the team planned to move George Springer to a corner outfield spot.
1 innings, with 3 errors, 2 fielding, and 1 throwing. FanGraphs had him at a +7.9 UZR/150, the best in the AL for CFers with 900+ innings. Outs Above Average had him at a +13, tied for first in the AL with Luis Robert. All of that confirms the eye test. He looked terrific with the glove. As a baserunner, Kevin FanGraphs has him at -2.7 runs compared to the average player. There were too many times when he was out on the basepaths.
