Buxton's 5-Tool Talent Highlighted by Stat Cast
By:Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- After being called up on Sept. 1, Twins center fielder Byron Buxton hit .287/.357/.653 with nine homers, six doubles and two triples in 29 games, and he looked much more like the player who was ranked as MLBPipeline.com's No. 1 overall prospect for two years.
Buxton's hitting ability and power are still developing, but the 22-year-old eased some doubts about his long-term offensive potential with his strong September.
Statcast⢠has improved the ability to measure all five of baseball's tools, and Buxton, named to the All-Statcast⢠Team at the end of the season, is emerging as one of the game's true five-tool talents.
Even before his offensive breakout, Buxton was making an impact with his defense in center and with his baserunning ability. He is one of the fastest players in the Majors, along with Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton, and has been recorded by Statcast⢠as throwing as hard as 99 mph from the outfield.
Buxton's speed is what really turns heads, as he registered the four fastest times to third base on triples by a right-handed hitter in 2016, and six of the top 10, including the top time of 10.69 seconds on June 3. He also broke the Statcast⢠record by reaching home in 14.05 seconds on his inside-the-park homer on the last day of the season off former White Sox ace Chris Sale.
So with that in mind, here are five plays highlighted by Statcast⢠that show off all five of Buxton's tools:
Hitting
With a 3-2 count, Tigers ace Justin Verlander reared back and threw a 96.6-mph fastball that was crushed by Buxton into right-center for a homer that went a projected 418 feet on Sept. 22. Of the 30 homers allowed by Verlander, only one was thrown harder and only three had higher spin rates, per Statcastâ¢. The dinger had a high launch angle of 28 degrees and an exit velocity of 104.4 mph, and balls hit at a similar launch angle and exit velocity have an expected batting average of .914. It was one of seven balls hit by Buxton that was categorized as "barreled" by Statcastâ¢.
