Nationals Call Up Carter Kieboom

By TC Zencka | July 24, 2021 at 2:02pm CDT

Carter Kieboom is on his way to join the Nationals in Baltimore, per Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post, who first suggested (via Twitter) that he’d be added to the roster in place of Jordy Mercer. As expected, the Nationals announced the move, with Mercer landing back on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain, retroactive to July 21st, and Kieboom on his way to the Major League roster.

Regardless of the cause, it’s an interesting time for the Nationals to make a move with Kieboom, once a top prospect in baseball and still one of Washington’s top trade chips. With less than a week before the trade deadline, there’s not much time for a showcase of any kind, whether it be for the Nats to show him off to other clubs, or even just to get a look at him themselves.

It’s looking less and less like the Nationals are readying to make a push for contention, so perhaps this is just the beginning of a season-long showcase for Kieboom to prove himself at the hot corner. He’s had opportunity before, but never on ideal terms. He was rushed to the Majors in 2019 because of a Trea Turner injury, then took over for departed franchise icon Anthony Rendon for a shortened season during a global pandemic. Though he hasn’t performed as expected in the Majors, the book is hardly closed on Kieboom.

    Spencer may go down as the greater Kieboom.

      46 games is all it takes for you to give up on a guy?

      Sounds like the noise a bat makes, when used by someone facing a white Sox bullpen guy.

    I hope he does well in the show. Hasn’t hit for average or power in AAA but has got on base.

      2019 he did well in triple A, 303 average with 16 home runs is pretty good

      Nats are 45-52. Spin it any way you want, but this team needs to sell.

    When Spencer retired, I wondered if Carter might follow suit in a couple of years. He’s still only 23.
