ANALYSIS: Who says a 33-year-old can't have a breakout season offensively? Kevin Kiermaier is doing just that, slashing .325/.383/.513 with a .387 wOBA and 149 wRC+. That includes three home runs, nine doubles, two triples, and three stolen bases.

Nothing about Kiermaier's advanced metrics profiles as much of a power hitter, but he carries a strong .274 xBA and only strikes out at an 18.6% rate. With elite running speed, simply putting the ball in play goes a long way for Kiermaier. Don't expect him to contend for the batting title like his current batting average suggests, though he can rack up fantasy points in a variety of ways.
