Royce Lewis Showing Sustained Breakout Since Early June
Minnesota's Royce Lewis has elevated his quality-of-contact metrics alongside strong counting stats over a multi-week stretch.
Since June 6, Royce Lewis is slashing .271/.338/.505 with 12 doubles, 10 home runs, and 25 RBIs for the Twins. Beyond the raw numbers, beat reporter Dan Hayes highlights meaningful gains in bat speed, hard-hit rate, and exit velocity. His strikeout rate has also dropped sharply during this stretch. The combination of improved underlying metrics and production suggests a legitimate performance shift rather than a hot streak.
