Jack Griffin reacted to TwinsData for an article, Twins Tidbit: Byron Buxton is Outperforming ... Byron BuxtonYou know that Byron Buxton is having a great season. Do you know he’s having his (so far) greatest season?
As you can see from the chart above:
- The 28-year-old has more home runs through 48 games than any of his previous seasons.
- His home run binge began in 2020 and has continued through 2021 and 2022.
- He has already played in more games in 2022 than in 3 of his previous 7 seasons.
There may be lots of room for debate in how his health and playing time is being handled. For instance, maybe trying a different path would work just as well or even better? But his performance this year, at least according to the early returns, is setting him up for a career year.
