Bailey Ober's velocity is down in 2025. He's generally been a starter who shows his best heat early in seasons—often, even during spring training—but unless he's made a drastic change to favor holding back h...18234Fri, 02 May 2025 15:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-hitter-of-the-month-marchapril-2025-r18231/The Twins have started 13-18 in their 2025 campaign, and their offensive struggles are the most to blame for this disappointing start. Minnesota ranks in the bottom third of most major offensive categories, and has averaged just under four runs per game across their first 31 contests. The fact t...18231Fri, 02 May 2025 13:14:35 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-led-to-rocco-baldellis-unusual-reliever-usage-in-tuesday-nights-twins-loss-r18232/After a hope-infusing series-opening win Monday night, the Twins lost in walkoff fashion in the second game of their four-game set against the Cleveland Guardians Tuesday. After five solid innings from Chris Paddack, Rocco Baldelli used Brock Stewart in the sixth, then went with his two highest-...18232Fri, 02 May 2025 11:33:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/guardians-4-twins-3-yet-another-wet-slap-r18230/Box Score SP: Simeon Woods Richardson 4.2 IP, 2H, 2 ER, 5 BB, 4 K (98 pitches, 58 strikes (59%)) Home Runs: None Bottom 3 WPA: Justin Topa -.564, Trevor Larnach -.218, Brooks Lee -.131 Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs): The Twins wrapped up their four-game set in Cleveland on Th...18230Thu, 01 May 2025 23:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/louis-varland-has-a-meatball-problem-r18226/In his first season as a full-time reliever, Louis Varland has flashed good swing-and-miss stuff. It's convinced Rocco Baldelli to deploy him more often out of the bullpen than any other Twin this year. But even as his strikeout rate soars, an old weakness has carried over from his days as a sta...18226Thu, 01 May 2025 23:11:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-pitcher-of-the-month-marchapril-2025-r18223/The first month of the baseball season can often be a time when pitcher performance is slightly ahead of hitters'. That was certainly true for the Twins. Minnesota’s pitching staff ended the month ranked in baseball’s top 10 for fWAR, FIP, and ERA. They were the best group in baseball at limitin...18223Thu, 01 May 2025 11:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/guardians-4-twins-2-too-little-too-late-too-naylor-r18222/Box Score SP: Pablo López 6.1 P, 4H, 2ER, 0BB, 6K (90 pitches, 60 strikes (67%)) Home Runs:  Brooks Lee (5) Top 3 WPA: Trevor Larnach (.461), Pablo Lopez (.110), Brooks Lee (.047) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Mickey Gasper got his first-ever turn in the leadoff spot W...18222Thu, 01 May 2025 00:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/a-letter-to-the-minnesota-twins-next-owner-r18218/It's a great time to be a Minnesota sports fan. The Lynx recently made it to the WNBA finals, the Vikings had a 14-3 regular season, the Timberwolves are in the midst of their second consecutive playoff run, and the Wild are enjoying their fifth trip to the postseason in six years.

Usually, they aren't. Luke Keaschall has to protect himself better in the batter's box, or he'll keep getting hurt. For just a moment, there, the Twins seemed to have a thrilling r...18217Tue, 29 Apr 2025 21:24:43 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/brooks-lee-is-back-to-being-brooks-lee-r18214/Injuries have presented Brooks Lee with an opportunity again this season, after he did little to seize one in 2024. While his surface-level numbers are unimpressive, Lee looks like a different player in 2025. Brooks Lee was overmatched at the plate in 2024, and while it was his first taste o...18214Tue, 29 Apr 2025 14:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/derek-falvey-provides-injury-updates-on-3-key-minnesota-twins-r18215/Multiple injuries have thinned out the Twins roster in recent weeks.
