Carter Kieboom struggled in 2020’s 60-game campaign, was sent down to the Washington Nationals’ Alternate Training site in Fredericksburg, VA at one point, then had a bone bruise in his left hand (the result of a hit-by-pitch) end his season prematurely.
Kieboom ended up going 20 for 99 (.202/.344/.212) with just one extra base hit in 122 plate appearances over 33 games last season, leaving the 23-year-old, 2016 first round pick (28th overall) at .181/.309/.232 with a double and two homers in 44 games and 165 PAs at the big league level, over which he’s taken 21 walks and struck out 49 times.
