Fantasy Baseball: Kevin Kiermaier Is Poised for a Breakout

The dynamic Tampa Bay Rays' outfielder has already made a name for himself with his glove, but this could be the year that his work at the dish finally puts him on the fantasy map.

If standard fantasy baseball leagues accounted for defensive statistics, the Tampa Bay Rays’ dynamic center fielder Kevin Kiermaier and his .986 career fielding percentage would be considered unquestionably elite.

As a hitter, though, Kiermaier has yet to put together a true breakout campaign, which explains why the young outfielder is being drafted near the back end of the overall top 200, per FantasyPros early average draft position (ADP) data.
