Even in BP, Kiermaier fun to watch on defense

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Logan Morrison hit a bomb on one of the back fields during a recent batting-practice session, and the newcomer to the Rays chirped, "Catch that one, Kiermaier!"

Morrison, like others in camp, never ceases to marvel at Kevin Kiermaier and his endless pool of energy. Typically, most Major Leaguers shag fly balls during batting practice like it's a hazard of the job. Then there's Kiermaier, who brings to mind a dog chasing a Frisbee, like he can't wait for the next one to come his way.

"He's got a lot of energy," Morrison said.
