Catching up with Nationals’ catcher Spencer Kieboom after his breakthrough season

Even though 2018 was largely disappointing for the Washington Nationals, they were able to find a few silver linings.

One of those positives was the performance of catcher Spencer Kieboom, who proved himself more than capable at the big league level.

In 2018, he ended up slashing .232/.322/.320 with a pair of home runs and 13 RBI as the primary backup catcher following his call-up in May. But towards the end of the year, he got hot as the team leaned on him more over somewhat of a lame duck in Matt Wieters.
