The Minnesota Twins 2022 season is over and Luis Arraez is the American League batting champion. The end of the season is always somber but we had the silver lining of Arraez finishing with a .316 batting average to beat Aaron Judge. Here I share some of my thoughts on Luis, the batting title race and some Arraez statistics I find even more impressive than his batting crown.

    Arraez has now played in parts or most of 4 seasons and he’s a .314 career hitter. Won title this year at .316…….my point is there’s more of the same to come. I don’t understand how batting average is not a very important stat anymore in baseball? If a batter gets a hit 32 out of 100 at bats vs. 24 out of 100 at bats the Team’s scoring opportunities have to be significantly higher!!!

    Where do we play him in 2023? Kiriloff - Miranda - Urshella - Arraez - Polanco. So he leads the league in average & has to play 2-3 defensive positions & DH. Plays when banged up! Need him in line-up 150 games per year going forward!!

    I like Polanco’s potential POP & his defense at 2nd & his demeanor & he’s a switch hitter! May need to move him to split 2nd base between Arraez & Gordon. Need youthful energy & offense throughout the line-up!
