BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 25% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Kevin Kiermaier is known primarily for two things: His great glove, and his inability to stay healthy. The latter has frustrated fantasy owners for years, as the 29-year-old has showcased an enticing blend of pop and speed when on the field.
So far this season, he's managed to stay there, and the results justify a much higher rate of ownership than his present mark. Kiermaier has eight home runs and 13 stolen bases in 69 games, to go along with solid run production. He won't hit for average (currently sitting at .248, and .254 for his career) but he's filling the box score nicely otherwise.
An IL stint may be inevitable, given Kiermaier's track record. Still, for as long as he's on the field, he's worth owning.
