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.

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...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18226</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 May 2025 23:11:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Daily Pitcher of the Month - March/April 2025</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-pitcher-of-the-month-marchapril-2025-r18223/</link><description>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&#x2019;s pitching staff ended the month ranked in baseball&#x2019;s top 10 for fWAR, FIP, and ERA.

	It's with great pleasure we welcome you to the Twin Cities. We couldn't be more excited for new ownership around these parts.

Luke Keaschall came up not only ready to run (stealing five bases in his first five big-league games), but hitting exceptionally well. He doesn't have much in-game power yet, but...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18217</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2025 21:24:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brooks Lee Is Back To Being Brooks Lee</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/brooks-lee-is-back-to-being-brooks-lee-r18214/</link><description>Brooks Lee was overmatched at the plate in 2024, and while it was his first taste of MLB action, his performance at least started to raise some red flags on the former 8th overall pick. He&#x2019;s putting those concerns to bed in 2025, even if his superficial stats aren&#x2019;t showing it.
