There aren’t many center fielders in baseball who are better defensively than the Blue Jays’ Kevin Kiermaier.
After 10 seasons patrolling the biggest part of the field for the Rays, Kiermaier is in his first season with the rival Blue Jays, having signed a one-year, $9 million contract this winter. He earned a reputation as one of the premier defensive players in the league during his time in Tampa Bay, winning the Gold Glove in 2015, ’16 and ’19. In ’15, he also won the Platinum Glove award, which goes to the best defensive player at any position in each league.
