He's addicted to them. Not only can his cannon of an arm turn some impressive double plays on defense (he's sitting at 47 turned thus far in the season), but he's also on pace to ground into more than 30 of them. If you're unaware of how monumental t...14957Sun, 10 Sep 2023 16:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/funderstruck-r14956/Through five outings and 5 1/3 innings, Kody Funderburk has a 1.69 ERA and has struck out one-third of the hitters he’s faced. The only blemish was a poorly-timed homer allowed against Cleveland. The Twins are surely hoping that they have an emerging piece of the current and future bullpen.
