Brian Dozier is starting to step up for the Minnesota Twins in a big way.

After a slow start, Brian Dozier seems to have found his stride as of late. For Minnesota Twins’ fans, this should be a very encouraging sign. If the leader plays well, the pack will shortly follow. We can only hope this stands true.

Dozier’s slash line for 2017 is .257/.321/.392. While the slash line seems about average, he has been able to stand out in many other ways.

Brian Dozier has 2 home-runs, 6 RBI’s, 5 stolen bases and has earned 7 walks.

Of course, it’s not just Brian Dozier’s hitting that makes him the jack-of-all trades. He has been phenomenal in the field again this year, and continues to be a double-play machine.

We can hope that Dozier continues to bring his batting average up and even starts hitting more long balls. But as of right now, Brian Dozier has been one of the best, if not the best, all around players for the Minnesota Twins.
