This is something that I’ve wanted to talk about for awhile. In fact, I was so inspired to write this that I completely ignored the article I was halfway through finishing. Whoops. Anyways, I wanted to talk about why I love watching José Berríos pitch.

Max Kepler was coming off a career year in 2019 that inspired the imaginations of Twins Territory. The “next step” was discussed all offseason as well as dreams of the next Christian Yelich. 2020 has been far from what we’d hoped for Max Kepler however, and his performance as a whole is reason for concern.
