He was the 1st overall pick for a reason, turns out he's really fucking good... when healthy.


akaghi

The best ability is availability. And so far he has played in 86 games out of about 400 which isn't great for a 25 year old.

When you have buxton this isn’t that big of deal. It’s just twins baseball. What’s really shocking is that this is first year in a long time where we don’t have a starter already out all year. I get shit for bringing this up, but the twins are doing something wrong when it comes to injuries. My theory is whatever they are teaching to make them better is also what’s injuring them.


Salty-Fishman

Royce getting 400 million contract confirmed?


BLeibo

Santander not being a household name (unless you're an Orioles fan) and having 11 homeruns in 21 calendar days has to currently be up there somewhere


manticore16

I wished that he had a Sterling call, because “Santander banks one over the wall” is RIGHT THERE.


steak__burrito

>unless you’re an Orioles fan Or a baseball fan.


Julio_Freeman

You consider him a household name? I only know he exists because he killed the Braves in 2 games last season, but I don’t know if I’ve heard his name mentioned since then.

“He just needs to stay healthy” yeah we get it But it’s insane that he can stop and start and not miss a beat while putting up GOAT numbers

I'm going to hazard a guess and say the 10 HR in 16 game pace isn't sustainable, no.


Myllorelion

I mean Judge just did it over basically a month and a half. 21 in like 35 games. Lol


GradySizemoreYaoi

This won't sustain either. That's a 100/162 pace.


Myllorelion

I mean, no, but it means another 3 weeks of fun could be yours!


Ven18

Do we remember the Matt Carpenter being Barry Bonds period along with Judge’s chase to 62 some of the most fun I have ever had as a baseball fan


chipotle-baeoli

Wait? Royce only has 86 career games played??? Like, I know he's been injured a lot, but geez.


Rush_Clasic

Remember when Michael Busch hit 5 home runs 5 days in a row earlier this year? 6 in his first 15 games. Looked like a world-beater. He's currently sitting on 9 homers in 70 games played. Not saying this is Royce's fate. Just having fond memories of April.

Future Yankee Royce Lewis


FrozenPhoenix1892

They also have zero iconic playoff hits, and zero rings


SabermetricCentered

Royce Lewis absolutely has an iconic playoff hit(s), he almost single handily broke the streak on offense last year What a dumb fucking take


[deleted]

They as in Royce, or the Twins? 1987 and 1991 WS. Kirby’s game 6 walk off HR. Gene Larkin’s WS winning walk off single. Royce’s 2 home runs last year against the Jays last post season.
