STATiSTICALLY SPEAKING

Entering Saturday, Miguel Sano is the Twins' most productive hitter, with an OPS of .866 and a WAR of 2.3, both team highs. But he is addicted to strikeouts, perhaps indicating how little they mean in the modern game. In just 300 games, Sano already ranks 26th in Twins history in strikeouts, and he's even higher on some other of the team's leaderboards:

43 Harmon Killebrew

35 Jacque Jones

34 Torii Hunter

31 Bob Allison

7 Miguel Sano (5 in 2017)

4 Danny Santana, Jason Kubel, Byron Buxton, Oswaldo Arcia, Bob Allison

When he makes contact, he's among the best Twins ever at getting a hit. Here are the Twins' career leaders in batting average on balls in play (minimum 1,200 plate appearances):

.366 Rod Carew

.365 Miguel Sano

.348 Shane Mack

.340 Rich Becker

.339 Joe Mauer
