Josh Bell on a tear in August for Minnesota Twins
Bell's August numbers — .361/.435/.607 with 4 HR and 14 RBI — signal one of the hotter bats in the AL heading into late summer.
Twins first baseman Josh Bell has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball during August, posting a .361 batting average, .435 on-base percentage, and .607 slugging percentage. He has hit four home runs and driven in 14 runs during the month. The performance represents a meaningful offensive surge for a Minnesota lineup that can use the production. Beat reporter Dan Hayes also notes Bell's consistent clubhouse presence alongside prospect Kaelen Culpepper's rising confidence.
