ST. PETERSBURG -- The Kevin Kiermaier Show might have had its finest hour on Sept. 15 at Tropicana Field.
By the time the 6-hour, 5-minute game against the Red Sox had finished in 15 innings, the Rays' center fielder had put forth a complete performance, throwing out runners, making circus catches, and getting clutch hits in what ended up being a loss for Tampa Bay.
Kiermaier has always spoiled Rays fans with his defense. If you go to a game, you expect to see a catch or a throw that defies logic. But in 2017, Kiermaier began to fuel expectations on offense as well, prompting the question: How good can Kevin Kiermaier be?
