Don’t judge Washington Nationals’ prospect Carter Kieboom solely on his first big league test...

Carter Kieboom, the Washington Nationals’ 2016 1st Round pick, (28th overall), made his MLB debut back on April 26th, and the 22-year-old infielder homered in his first game, but things didn’t go too well for the shortstop after that.

Kieboom ended up going 5 for 43 (.128/.209/.282) with two home runs, four walks, and 16 Ks in 43 plate appearances over 11 games before he was optioned back to Triple-A Fresno.

He also made four errors in 10 games in the field while he was up. looking at times like he was pressing as he tried to adjust to major league game speed.
