Washington Nationals third baseman Carter Kieboom is a 2021 fantasy baseball draft value. His ADP is undervalued, making him a potential draft bargain and late-round sleeper to target.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 395
CURRENT ADP: ~412 overall
ANALYSIS: Just shy of being what I would consider a deep dart throw, Kieboom is currently in line to be the starting third baseman for the Nationals. The reason the confidence is lacking is in part due to the fact that according to reports, the Nationals are open to trading Kieboom. This should open up a starting spot wherever he lands but it is not certain.

Although he has yet to show it at the major league level, Kieboom has flashed great plate discipline all through the minors as someone who hovers around a 20% strikeout rate and roughly a 13% walk rate. The walk rate did follow him into the 2020 season as he posted a 13.9% rate across 33 games. He also has a history of putting up double-digit home run rates as well in the minors but has yet to have time to let it translate to the MLB level. This is a decent gamble this late in drafts as Kieboom offers prospect pedigree, minor league track record and, a path to everyday playing time. Maybe consistent playing time is all he needs. A young player could go far and succeed if he is given an opportunity and if the team showed some confidence in him.
