Washington’s 1st round pick, 28th overall, in 2016 from a Georgia high school, signed for slightly under-slot for $2 million.  19.5 y/o listed as 6-2 190lbs, very projectable body and total baby face, potential to add 10-15lbs of muscle – obvious athlete with quality speed, have clocked him in the 4.20-4.27 second home to first from the right side.  Gritty competitor, grinder – like his makeup but have observed him chirp with umpires, needs to temper this habit.

Defensively Kieboom currently plays a passable shortstop, utilizing his above-average speed and outstanding instincts to make the routine plays.  Hands are just average and can get stiff when moving, especially laterally.  Lower half can get somewhat stiff and does not possess the natural fluidity of a major league shortstop.  Arm is solid-average and accurate with reasonable carry.  Tools feel like he could stay at shortstop in the majors, but would be a bottom five defender – profiles significantly better at the hot corner, where first-step quickness, instincts and arm would allow him to project as an above-average defender.

Kieboom is an impressive, polished high school draft pick who plays the game with a “good” swagger.  He shows a mature approach at the plate, with excellent barrel skills and some emerging power, especially to the pull side.  Like any teenager, he needs to add strength, but there is a good chance he could develop into an above-average hitter with average power – that profile fits better at shortstop, but should work fine at the hot corner.  Defensively could play a tolerable shortstop in the majors; however considering the wizardry demanded at the position in 2017, profiles much better at third base long-term; second base could also be an option based on organizational need.

Kieboom projects as a slightly above-average (Role 55) third baseman, with a medium floor due to his instincts and impressive skills at the plate.  There is also medium risk in his profile, with the biggest concerns being his distance from the majors, his eventual defensive position and how he develops recognizing spin at the plate.  Kieboom should spend most of 2017 at Hagerstown and has a major league ETA of very late 2019 or 2020.

 

{Editor’s Note – Carter Kieboom was injured running to first base Friday night and was placed on the disabled list.  This report was written prior to this injury and is assuming this will not affect his long-term future.  We wish Carter a speedy recovery.}
