The Minnesota Twins have been surprisingly successful in 2017. Let’s take a look at each aspect of the game and see what the reason behind their success is.

Just a year ago, the Minnesota Twins started off 0-9 and went on to finish the season with over 100 losses. Nobody could have predicted that, nearly 40 games in, they would be on top of a division that also boasts the Cleveland Indians.

The reason for their success isn’t something that can be seen very easily. At some points, they look awful. Other times, the Twins look fantastic. It’s been a roller coaster, but a fun one yet.

The game of baseball isn’t like any other sport. There are so many aspects to the game that affects each team in so many ways. From pitching to hitting to defense, let’s give grades to each aspect of their game so far in 2017.
