Minnesota Twins: Predicting Season Stats of the Opening Day Lineup

The Minnesota Twins are going to play in the American League Central this season. They have acquired Sonny Gray, Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela. Carlos Correa was signed as a free agent. FanGraphs predicts the triple slash of all starters expected for Opening Day.

Gary Sanchez is the new Minnesota Twins catcher. He will play with Ryan Jeffers. Sanchez's last two seasons have been disappointing, but he still hit around league average. His offensive output in 2022 should be similar to Miguel Sano. He is a good hitter, with good exit velocity and barrel percentage.

Miguel Sano is a power hitter who has a mixed record in his career. He is elite in exit velocity and barrel percentage, but dismal in all contact categories. Sanos last two seasons have seen him hit more home runs and strikeout more often.
