Aggressive on basepaths early

Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases Saturday against the Marlins.

Analysis

Kiner-Falefa was expected to lead off for a significant portion of spring, but he's instead hit ninth in all three of Pittsburgh's games. He's still found a way to be productive and has benefited from the team's aggressiveness on the basepaths by swiping three bases on three tries. Kiner-Falefa is likely to provide little other production, but he could be a streaming option for stolen bases.
