"He never made good on that billing in parts of four seasons with Washington, however, slashing just .199/.297/.301 in 508 major league plate appearances. He spent the 2025 season with the Angels after signing as a minor league free agent. Kieboom batted .319/.368/.449 in an extremely hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League setting and went 2-for-8 with a pair of singles in three games with the major league club."
"Kieboom has played third base and shortstop extensively in pro ball, logging more than 2100 innings at each position. He's also played nearly 600 innings at second base. At the height of his prospect status, Kieboom was regarded as a safe bet to hit thanks to good pitch recognition, strong plate discipline and a quality all-fields approach at the plate. That hasn't played out in the majors, but he's a career .288/.380/.439 hitter in 1597 plate appearances at the Triple-A level."
Carter Kieboom, 28, was a 2016 first-round pick who previously ranked among baseball's top 100 prospects. He posted a .199/.297/.301 line in 508 major-league plate appearances across parts of four seasons with Washington. He spent 2025 with the Angels, hitting .319/.368/.449 in the Pacific Coast League and going 2-for-8 in three big-league games before being outrighted. Kieboom has logged over 2,100 innings at both third base and shortstop and nearly 600 innings at second base. He compiled a .288/.380/.439 line in 1,597 Triple-A plate appearances and is viewed as a multi-positional bench/depth option who could compete for a backup role or report to Triple-A Columbus.
