TORONTO – Of Kevin Kiermaier’s 914 big-league video games over a decade with the Tampa Bay Rays, 117 have come towards the Toronto Blue Jays, his most towards any single opponent. Inevitably, that constructed numerous familiarity between the centre-fielder and his new membership, every figuring out very nicely what the opposite brings to the desk and what they have been searching for this low season.
Positive, the Blue Jays have been desirous about an offensive alternative for the traded Teoscar Hernandez, however greater than that, they wanted a dynamic, up-the-middle defender to tighten up an outfield that’s a transparent space of alternative by way of run prevention.
And sure, Kiermaier wished a crew that will give him common enjoying time after August surgical procedure to restore a torn labrum in his left hip, however he additionally wanted a crew that really believed he’d not solely discover his manner again to previous kind, however even perhaps surpass it.

So, they matched, pairing up on a $9 million, one-year deal finalized and introduced Thursday, an emblem of each how severe the Blue Jays are in making an attempt to patch the small cracks that stored them from being a extra steady entire in 2022 and Kiermaier’s potential to be a part of the answer.
“Particularly from a defensive level, I’m a game-changer on the market,” Kiermaier mentioned throughout a Zoom chat with media. “And now that my legs are feeling so significantly better, I do know I can get again to my kind (from) earlier than and I need them, pitchers, to know that they’ll assault these guys, throw the ball over the plate and if it doesn’t go away the yard and if it’s within the air lengthy sufficient, I’m going to catch it. I’m going to restrict runners, guys don’t go first to 3rd on me an entire lot and little issues like that matter. Run prevention is my bread and butter.”
There’s no debating that, whether or not you wish to depend on conventional measures like Gold Gloves – he’s received three of them – and the attention take a look at or superior metrics. On all three, Kiermaier’s received it coated.
These abilities ought to have a dramatic influence on the Blue Jays, whose outfielders ranked 18th within the majors final season at minus-3 Outs Above Common (a range-based metric that counts what number of outs a defender has saved) and minus-2 runs prevented.
Even in a season during which Kiermaier performed simply 63 video games attributable to what he termed “a shredded labrum,” his Outs Above Common was one, after being at 12 in 2021, when the tear in his hip was first found however he managed to play due to “a band-aid” cortisone shot.
The 32-year-old pegged himself at 85-90 per cent roughly 22 weeks post-surgery and feels “phenomenal” proper now as he hits, runs and trains. If he can get again to the place he was in 2021, not to mention 2019 when his Outs Above Common was 19, whereas sustaining his prime percentile arm power and jumps, the profit to Blue Jays pitchers will probably be vital.

Offensively, the loss will not be as vital because it seems when evaluating Kiermaier’s numbers to these of Hernandez. As colleague Arden Zwelling identified this week, the Blue Jays gave Raimel Tapia, Bradley Zimmer and Jackie Bradley Jr. 614 plate appearances in 2022 they usually mixed to hit .228/.270/.340 with 10 dwelling runs.
Provided that Kiermaier owns a profession OPS of .715 and was barely higher than the above trio on one leg this 12 months at .228/.281/.369, there’s already some web offensive achieve. If the Blue Jays do the anticipated and add one other left-handed bat, maybe to play some outfield and contribute at DH, it ought to assist cowl extra of Hernandez’s misplaced manufacturing.
In 2021, Kiermaier posted an OBP of .328 and if he’s in that vary on the backside of the Blue Jays lineup, he ought to simply surpass his profession excessive of 62 runs scored. Think about his pace and baserunning and he has an opportunity to carry a dimension the membership has lacked and lengthy sought.
“We’ve received a lot firepower in there one via 9 the place if I simply do my half, get on base, something I do from there will probably be like a bonus sort of factor,” mentioned Kiermaier. “I haven’t scratched the floor of my offensive potential but. And now that I’ve received a greater thought of what I wish to do and (am) just a little bit more healthy, I feel I’m going to have an important 12 months offensively and I’m actually excited to show that. I like my method. I like my plan and my recreation prep. However I do know I can study so much from all these younger, nice hitters they’ve and guys who’ve been there and performed that. … I’m engaged on that and I’m going to do all the pieces in my energy to again up what I’m saying.”
Such conviction and dedication is one other a part of what the Blue Jays are shopping for, as his clubhouse presence and the kind of teammate he was with the Rays are substances vital to them.
Think about that early of their discussions Kiermaier requested the Blue Jays to ensure George Springer was OK with a transfer to proper area as a result of “he performed such an important centre area final 12 months.”

Or, maybe recognizing a number of the threat the Blue Jays have been taking, him vowing that “I’m going to go on the market and attempt to make Ross Atkins appear like a genius.”
Or, the passionate manner he promised to “dedicate myself like I by no means have earlier than,” and “to do all the pieces in my energy to whup up on the Rays, as bizarre as that’s proper now.”
All of that, alongside together with his defence, affords the Blue Jays some mandatory parts they lacked in 2022. Delivering on that will be sufficient, and perhaps, with alternative in hand, Kiermaier will do much more, too.
