Fun and games with new Red Sox infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa
"Kiner-Falefa has player in eight big league seasons. His career slash line is .262/.311/.349. He's hit between .261 and .271 five times. His highest batting average was .280 and his lowest .238. He's never posted an OPS of .700 or more in a full season (when traded, he has done so during parts of seasons). He's stolen double-digit bases in each of the last five seasons."
"He spent four years with the Texas Rangers and then (parts of) two seasons with the Yankees, Pirates, and Blue Jays. In December 2023, Kiner-Falefa signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. At the deadline in 2024, the Jays traded him to the Pirates for a minor league infielder (Charles McAdoo) who plays second and third plus some right field. IKF has played mostly shortstop, third, and second but you get the point."
Isiah Kiner-Falefa has eight big-league seasons with a career .262/.311/.349 slash line and consistent batting averages between .261 and .280. Power is limited—he has never exceeded eight home runs in a season—but he has stolen double-digit bases in each of the last five seasons and recorded at least one triple every year except 2022. He has primarily played shortstop, third, and second, spending four years with the Rangers and parts of seasons with the Yankees, Pirates, and Blue Jays. Transactions include signing with Toronto in December 2023, a 2024 deadline trade to Pittsburgh, and a later waiver claim; he also has 6.2 innings pitched across three seasons with a 2.70 ERA and relies on an eephus and fastball pairing when pitching.
