Tampa Bay Rays centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier is considered one of the best in the majors, as evident having won consecutive Rawlings Gold Gloves for his outfield defense the past two seasons. However, this past week against the Kansas City Royals, Kiermaier may have very well seen the chances of another Gold Glove vanish into thin air by virtue of some uncharacteristic plays that resulted being credited with three errors in the four-game series.
Errors are a part of the game, but for Kevin Kiermaier getting an error is like the Tampa Bay Rays winning a World Series – it just does not happen, especially the way the errors are happening.
