Kevin Kiermaier is one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball, but this season, something weird has happened to him out in center field. He already has more errors in 61 games this season than he committed all of last year.

He also has an astonishingly weird habit of playing part in Little League home runs. Thus far, Kiermaier has sparked three Little League homers, which are essentially inside-the-park homers (in reality but not the scorecard) caused by a whole mess of errors. It almost happened for a fourth time on Thursday.

During the third inning between the Rays and White Sox, Willy Garcia lined a double in the gap. Kiermaier’s throw into second was well off and allowed Garcia to advance to third. Then, Tim Beckham made matters worse with a terrible throw into the outfield. It looked certain to be Kiermaier’s fourth Little League home run.

That was until Peter Bourjos saved the day (and Kiermaier’s dignity).

Bourjos made a strong throw into home to end Garcia’s bid at a Little League home run. Kiermaier was charged an error on the play, and Garcia did a ton of running for no reason. After all that, it’s just an out.
