Miguel Sano Stays Red Hot

If you were to calculate Sano’s stats out for the whole season, they would be MVP type numbers. He would have 49 HRs with 176 RBIs and 120 runs scored. To put it in historical context, if Sano were to continue his current pace, he would have the fourth highest RBI total in a season, seven behind Hall Of Famer Hank Greenberg, who had 183 RBIs for the Detroit Tigers in 1937 for the third highest RBI total. Sano’s projected homerun total of 49 would tie Harmon Killebrew, who hit 49 HRs in 1964 and 1969, for the most homeruns for a season in Twins history. To illustrate how important Sano’s success thus far this season has been to the Twins, the Twins have scored 110 runs. Sano figured in 37 of those runs -- roughly a third of the runs the Twins runs scored. Sano has quietly put up an excellent season thus far. Realistically, he probably won’t keep up his current pace. Yet, we can’t help to wonder if Sano really could continue this current performance. Baseball is a game of ups and downs as far as performance is concerned. If Sano does continue his current pace, the Twins and the residents of Twins territory could be talking playoffs by the time the season nears the end. It’s almost certain the performances of other players that are currently struggling are bound to pick up. One thing is for sure -- the production of Miguel Sano is a key to the Twins success thus far and will be a key to how successful the Twins are the rest of the season, and for years to come.
