Looking back on his 2020 campaign in late September, shortly after it ended with a bone bruise on his hand, the result of a hit-by-pitch, Carter Kieboom, Washington’s 23-year-old, 2016 first round pick, said that there were positives to take from his .202/.344/.212 run in the 60-game COVID campaign, which he finished at -0.3 fWAR in 33 games and 122 plate appearances.
“I was very happy with the way defense went this year,” Kieboom said, after moving from short to third base where there was a spot/need on the Nationals’ big league roster.
“It was a new position and that was my big challenge to myself this year, was learning that position and trying to maintain it and play it to the best I can.
