2023 Player Outlook
When it was all said and done, Jhoan Duran had an amazing rookie campaign for the Twins. A starter through his six years in the minor leagues, Duran was transitioned to reliever last spring and the electrifying righty went on to lead the majors with an average four-seam fastball velocity of 100.8 mph Minnesota showed their confidence in the right-hander by trading away Taylor Rogers before the 2022 season began and he went on to lead all AL pitchers in Win Probability plus an impressive 1.86 ERA/0.98 WHIP. Last season the Twins were last in the American League with total saves at 28 and tied for last in all of MLB alongside the Washington Nationals. Probable closer Jorge Lopez will have a short leash after falling hard in September which may eventually lead to more save opportunities as the season goes on for Duran.
