Asked for his thoughts on 27-year-old catcher Spencer Kieboom during the series in Yankee Stadium last month, Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez said the Nats’ 2012 5th Round pick was up in the majors soaking it all in, and he liked the way Kieboom was working to keep learning.
“He absorbs,” Martinez said. “He’s like a sponge. He’s learning all the pitchers, he calls good games. He’s very intense. He’s into it. He’s really into it.
