The contact/hit tool is important for any player and if you combine an elite hit...9291Thu, 30 Apr 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trivia-three-historical-twins-single-game-hitting-performances-r9290/You’ll find these performances are somewhat random but I tried to put as few stipulations as I could into the Play Index tool to find a performance that has happened less than 100 times in the history of major League baseball. For reference, there have been 220,597 games played in major league hi...9290Thu, 30 Apr 2020 01:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/projecting-the-twins-statcast-style-r9281/Jeff Zimmerman of FanGraphs has attempted to do just that. Instead of using past performance, Zimmerman used Statcast metrics such as Max Exit Velocity, Barrel %, Launch Angle, and Sprint Speed to create projections for the 2020 season. He also used O-and Z-swing and contact rates to account for...9281Wed, 29 Apr 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hopeful-slugger-may-finally-be-here-r9287/Back in December 2015 the Minnesota Twins paid just north of $12 million for exclusive rights to hammer out a contract with KBO superstar ByungHo Park. He then signed a four-year deal that would pay him $12 million in total. Unfortunately, he ended up playing in just 62 major league games and resi...9287Wed, 29 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jake-odorizzi39s-spin-efficiency-offers-a-window-into-broader-improvements-r9285/For appreciators of the pure craft of pitching, there must be few pitchers whose 2019 seasons were more enjoyable than that of Jake Odorizzi. He did so many new and nuanced things on the mound, forcing batters into tougher guessing games and dominating with the very command that had been absent fo...9285Tue, 28 Apr 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-show-must-go-on-cruz-control-r9286/To get caught up on what we're doing here, you can check out the introductory post in the series for an explanation of the premise and setup.

This was the first ever World Series title in Senators/Twins history and it came against none other than the Giants.

It would result in this order: 1 Tigers (58.33) 2 Orioles (58.67) t3 Marlins (6...9279Sun, 26 Apr 2020 21:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-is-the-best-twin-born-in-each-state-r9276/I tried to choose the most relevant players born in each state to play for the Twins, rather than every single one of them. Because of that, several states will not appear on this list. Also, since these rankings are based only on players’ birthplaces, one very noticeable absence will be Twins gre...9276Sun, 26 Apr 2020 02:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/triple-digit-shoes-to-fill-r9277/Edwar Colina reached AAA Rochester last season at the age of 22.
