    There are measurable contributing factors that can explain a lot of the Twins record home run production. If you look at launch angles, Twins hitters have been taking advantage of new analytical technology to improve their launch angles and hit more bombas. There's also the juiced ball, which MLB/Rawlings denies, but hard data backs up. Besides those measurable things, there was Nelson Cruz bringing his experience as one of the best hitters in the game, a bunch of young players all hitting their prime years at the same time (Kepler, Sano, etc.), and a Twins coaching staff with an innovative approach to rest/player health. I'm not saying it's not at all possible, but I don't believe it happened, and there are a lot of reasons for the Twins success in 2019.
