Max Kepler's power isn't like Mauer's at all. Kepler knows how to turn on an inside pitch and drive the crap out of it. 

 

Kepler isn't like Buxton, either. Kepler knows the strike zone, and he doesn't flail at a lot of curves outside the zone. His balance is amazing, and his swing is compact, fluid and powerful. It's actually as sweet a swing as Mauer's, but geared for center-right, where Mauer's swing is designed to go oppo.
