No Twins player can affect a game in more ways than Byron Buxton. The 23-year-old center fielder is the fastest player in the Majors, according to Statcast™’s sprint speed metric, is arguably the game’s best defender, easily leading all outfielders in Statcast™’s Outs Above Average, and he also experienced a breakout offensively in the second half of the season.
