Kevin Kiermaier was born on Sunday, April 22, 1990, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Kiermaier was 23 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 30, 2013, with the Tampa Bay Rays. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Kevin Kiermaier baseball stats page.
"You need to know that Kiermaier dreams about defense in the way that others might dream about what to do with all of their lottery winnings, or what they would say while accepting an Oscar, or what they would do first if elected President of the United States. Keep in mind that Kiermaier is not crazy, and that he is the Babe Ruth of defense, in how his production with the glove differentiates him from every other major leaguer. Stuff that he imagines -- crazy scenarios -- tend to come true, and this particular apparition nags at him. 'There's going to be a runner at third base, no one else on base, either no outs or one out,' Kiermaier says. 'I'm going to run down a ball in the right-center gap, shallow. I'm going to slide ...' To make the catch, he means, to create a situation in which the runner must tag up at third base to score. Kiermaier is right-handed and in order to throw homeward after catching the ball on his glove side, he would have to stop his momentum quickly, with the alacrity of someone leaping out of a car that just crashed into a tree. Kiermaier has worked out how that would happen. He's going to slide, plant his feet, rise and create some momentum into his throw. '...And I'm going to spin and throw the guy out from my back leg.' The play unfolds in his imagination with Kiermaier making a perfect throw to home plate to complete a double play. Of course." - ESPN Senior Writer Buster Olney (03/27/2014, 'Kiermaier's defensive excellence merely an extension of his imagination' ESPN Insider)
