Kevin Kiermaier, a retired center fielder, has taken on a role as a special assistant with the Toronto Blue Jays following his MLB career. He emphasizes his desire to help develop the outfielders within the organization, referring to himself as an 'outfield whisperer.' Kiermaier is celebrated for his impressive defensive skills, having earned four Gold Glove awards throughout his 12-season career. While he considered roles with the Rays and other teams, he ultimately committed to helping the Blue Jays despite feeling unfit for a player comeback.
It's hard to argue with Kiermaier's resume, which should make him very well-suited to a role coaching outfielders on defense all throughout the organization.
Let me be the outfield whisperer to these guys. I've done light stuff at the gym, and my body still just doesn't feel great.
