Miguel Sano is making a very early MVP case.

Let’s be honest, this is an easy one. Miguel Sano has not only been the best player on the Twins, he has been one of the best in the MLB. After the offense had been stalling for a week or so, Sano has helped them get back to being one of the most exciting offenses in baseball.

So far this season, Miguel Sano’s slash line is .314/.443/.686 with 8 home-runs and 27 RBI’s.

Miguel Sano earned the AL player of the week award for the last week of April.

The slugging percentage stands out by far, but Miguel Sano has been doing everything for this Minnesota Twins’ team. He is fielding well, making contact with the ball almost every time to the plate and of course, obliterating balls into the stands.

The Twins’ offense hinges on the success of Miguel Sano. As seen already, when Sano is hot, the Twins win. When he is not, the offense can become stagnant. To find further success in 2017, the Minnesota Twins need Sano to continue this great season.
