2021 Fantasy Outlook
It was a typical season for Kiermaier -- not very productive, but with just enough steals to be viable in certain scenarios. The slick-fielding outfielder was his usual stellar self in center but did not take home the Gold Glove. Kiermaier showed more plate patience, blowing away his career high in BB%. However, he gave back the previous season's K% gains and then some, fanning at a career-worst pace. For the second straight season, Kiermaier appeared unlucky based on Statcast xBA, but playing half the time in Tropicana Field pushes his actual average below what's expected. He managed to avoid the IL, but Kiermaier did play through foot, knee and back injuries. Even with his plus defense, it's difficult to envision Kiermaier as anything more than a strong-side platoon player, chipping in some bags but with little power and a low batting average.

Dealing with hip tightness
Manager Kevin Cash said Kiermaier will be limited during the first week of spring training games due to tightness in his hip, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old indicated only a couple days ago he was entering camp in good health, so it's a new injury for the veteran outfielder. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, but Kiermaier will take it slow early in camp to help avoid any complications.

Stat Review
How does Kevin Kiermaier compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Kiermaier was able to put together a healthy (for him) season, logging 480 PA, the second-highest total of his career. By stealing 19 bases in 24 attempts, Kiermaier finished 71st among outfielders in earned value, but make no mistake about it; it was not a good offensive season. He walked just 5.4% of the time and got on base at a .278 clip, the lowest mark among all players with 450 PA. While he did improve greatly against same-handed pitching (.784 OPS, up from .548), that improvement was offset by sizable dip in performance against righties. In total, Kiermaier was 22% worse than the average MLB hitter. His defense is holding up and Kiermaier still has several years remaining on his contract, but given his lengthy injury history, we should assume there's only one way to go with his plate appearances. Keep in mind that his running tailed off as the season wore on (four attempts in the second half).
