Minnesota Twins: 2022 Quarter-Season Grades for the Twins Hitters

The Minnesota Twins are now officially a little over a quarter through the season, with the team playing it’s 42nd game of the season yesterday. The team is 26-16, 4.5 games above the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central, and just three games behind the New York Yankees for the best record in the American League (and all of baseball).

With that in mind, it’s time once again to stop and grade the individual players on how they’ve performed over the course of the season so far and take a look at how they earned that grade.

We grade the Minnesota Twins hitters on their 2022 performances.

For this exercise, Royce Lewis, Mark Contreras, Alex Kirilloff, Jose Godoy, Jose Miranda, and Miguel Sano were not included, as they all have played 17 games or less and I really didn’t want to pile on Kirilloff, Miranda, and Sano (who all would have earned definite Fs).

Instead, I only included the twelve players who have played important roles on this team’s red-hot stretch over late-April and May. We’ll get things started off with the infield, a group that’s been one of the better units in baseball, balancing power and contact with some pretty stellar defense.
