And if you notice, he keeps slowing down just so he can leap for the ball to make it look like it's a hard catch. Yet Pillar gets reprimanded for showboating his dives... Dives which critics say he needs to do because he's not fast enough to make those catches standing up... Oh the irony!! Kiermaier is by far the most overrated CFer today. The guy had 1 full season since he entered the league, yet he's always in talks for the Gold Glove. Then you have Pillar, who works his ass off to make plays even Kiermaier couldn't make, and he can't even win a gold glove. Pillar was the clear winner from 2015 to 2017. Kiermaier's stats were boosted so that Pillar, playing for the lone Canadian team, wouldn't win.
@@jonathanmartin8113 This comment is old as shit but I'm gunna entertain it anyways lmao. Kiermaier dWAR by year 2015: 4.6 2016: 3.0 2017: 2.3 Pillar dWAR by year 2015: 3.0 2016: 2.8 2017: 1.9 Kiermaier has 20.6 career dWAR. Pillar has 6.5 even though he had 6.7 from 2015-17 because he has been worth -1.7 dWAR since 2017. Meanwhile, KK has accrued 9.1 more dWAR since then. Not much of an actual comparison here lol. Kiermaier is 50th all time in defensive WAR.
@173jaSon371 Yeah... funny that KK's WAR was based on his DRS. Which was completely falsefied. In 2015 alone, KP made 20+ catches that were rated 4 stars and 6 that were rated 5 stars, that alone would make his DRS tops in the league (but ironically, he still only had half of KK's total that year), on top of having the best range and the best route efficiency in the league... yup, Pillar's metric stats were definitely downgraded for KK to win. This situation happened again in 2016... KK was barely eligible for the GG and he still won it, because somehow, his DRS was still like twice to the runner-up. And well, in 2017, KK was injured and wasn't eligible for the GG, somehow Buxton, one of the worst CFers in 2016, was leading in DRS, so they gave him the GG. Ironically, Buxton had similar stats to what Pillar had in 2016. So, believe whatever you want, that shit was rigged. I remember that every MLB analyst were saying that Pillar was the only valid candidate for the GG by late July/early August... yet somehow, KK came out of nowhere on a bottom feeding team to with it... Not a coincidence. And after Pillar left the Jays, somehow, KK never had a great season like 2015 and 2016.
@@jonathanmartin8113 Lmao you do not know ball. You sound like Trump doing mental gymnastics to say that he won the election. That was the most DRS in a season ever. I'm not a Rays or Jays fan, I'm a Sox fan so I have no reason to defend the dude. He is just that good. From 2015-2019 he had 108 DRS and Pillar had .......39. Also what would "on a bottom feeding team" have to do with anything? Sounds like you just don't like the guy lmao. Also......the Jays blow ass.
that means is was either a special day or it was there last game I went to there last game last year and they were wearing there away jerseys the bark blue ones so just telling u
LOL most of his catches would have been routine for any mediocre center fielder in the league. His shitty pitching staff gave him a lot of chances to make catches, which is why is DRS was through the roof. You can't discredit Pillar just because he had fewer chances to make a DRS...
I love Kevin. He could be a cartoon character, and I mean that in a good way. He's adorable. Makes me believe in baseball.
This guy is one of the best CFers I've ever seen and I've never even heard of him. Time for the Cards to pick him up.
Kevins Best: Subscribe No, just no
Kevins Best: Subscribe nope, he just got an extension thank god.
Huge fan and he is the best outfileder in bAseball
Scotty P best defensive outfielder but not the best overall
Brett Lacefield no he was right
David Houghton 2 words. Mike Trout.
Heath Besowshek Overall yes mike trout is one of if not the best player. But KK is best defensive fielder
5
fucking
defensive wins
above replacement
wow.
First song is Shine by Spektrem
so kids what did we learn today??
if you are on the red sox or blue jays don't hit it to centerfield!!

How this guy wins the Gold Glove over Kevin Pillar each year is unbelievable. Pillars highlight reel is way better! They aren't even comparable.

The look on Archers is like "That does not compute." KK deserved the Gold and Platinum gloves!
Best OF of major league
Kevin kiermaier is the best
Well Deserved Gold and Plat!
K.k the movie star is good.
He said in a interview he was the best center fielder

spektrem-shine
he does love catching them in the palm
Why were the Rays wearing their away jerseys at 0:36 when they were the home team
that means is was either a special day or it was there last game I went to there last game last year and they were wearing there away jerseys the bark blue ones so just telling u
That was when there were riots in Baltimore, they moved the series to Tampa so the Orioles were the home team at Tropicana Field
He went to my high school
actullay
My boy!!!! #RaysUp
what song is this
1:33 very impressive the batter already gave up and disappointing lol.
4:47 pretty much
What's the song?
Joey I was at that game were they where wearing there jerseys in Tropicana field so I should know
Defensive wise
LOL most of his catches would have been routine for any mediocre center fielder in the league. His shitty pitching staff gave him a lot of chances to make catches, which is why is DRS was through the roof. You can't discredit Pillar just because he had fewer chances to make a DRS...
Jonathan Martin rays have had the best pitching staff over the last several years
David Houghton not by a long shot! They haven't had a decent rotation since they had Price and Shield... Very delusional my friend
C'mon the guys is one of the best Centerfielders on this planet don't hate on him!
Jonathan Martin Archer is one of the best active pitchers in the American League
Jonathan Martin Fuck you mean
that song tho. what's it called
He's to cocky
Liseth Ferrer lmao how
Liseth Ferrer He's one of the most humble major leaguers
Kevin pillar better at hitting kiermier 10 times better in feild
Not even close, but nice try smh
pillars better
+Dylan Reddekopp im a jays fan and i would agree, but kiermaier has a way better arm than pillar does.
Syceth yeah
Yellow Brick Road kiemaier has an insane arm but imo pillars glove is better
+Dylan Reddekopp Haha maybe if Kiermaier's arms got cut off
hell no he isn't
