In what has been a season full of despair, Luke Keaschall\u00a0has certainly been a bright spot in the Twin Cities. The rookie infielder debuted this season in April before getting injured and returning in August. In every game he has played, he has been a spark plug and a bright spot for the\u00a0Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n

Keaschall has made it clear what kind of player he is since being called up. He is the type of dude who plays with max effort at all times. He is the type of player that you love to watch play for your team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On top of playing with max effort, he has also been incredibly productive this season. Despite us only being 36 games into his major league career, Keaschall looks like a future star in this league. He is certainly going to be a mainstay in this Twins lineup for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

If the Twins are hoping to at least attempt to resemble a competitive baseball team next season, they are going to need the help of Keaschall to do so. Here is a look at what has made the Twins rookie so special.<\/p>\n

Stats updated prior to games on September 9.<\/em><\/p>\n

Keaschall In the Box<\/h2>\n

This is where Keaschall has been at his best. His bat has been great to start his professional career. It has only been 37 games and 159 plate appearances, but a 152 wRC+ in that time frame is excellent.<\/p>\n

When digging into the metrics with Keaschall, the stat that stands out the most is his launch angle sweet-spot percentage (LA Sweet-Spot%). This just tells you how often a player hits the ball somewhere between 8 and 32 degrees.<\/p>\n

Keaschall\u2019s current LA Sweet-Spot% is 41.7%. There are only five qualified hitters with better marks than Keaschall, including Jonathan Aranda and Mike Trout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
