While Kiermaier won't be able to help the young defenders much with their hitting as he was never really known for that, he is going to be a massive help defensively as he has won four Gold Glove award throughout his career.
As a hitter, Kiermaier had a lifetime .246 average. His best offensive seasons came at the beginning of his career when he hit .263 in both 2014 and 2015. One of the best defenders of his era, he won four Gold Glove Awards, including one with the Blue Jays in the 2023 campaign. -Farkas
