Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:34:51 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Max Kepler spent 105 games atop the Twins’ batting order in 2019. Last season, that number was down to just two. Only time will tell how often the right fielder hits leadoff in 2023, but it’s safe to say manager Rocco Baldelli likes having him as an option there against right-handed pitchers.When the Twins kick off their season Thursday afternoon in Kansas City against Royals pitching ace Zack Greinke, Kepler will be the first to dig into the batter’s box. He’ll be followed in the order by Carlos Correa (shortstop), Byron Buxton (designated hitter), Trevor Larnach (left field), Jose Miranda (third base), Nick Gordon (second base), Joey Gallo (first base), Christian Vázquez (catcher) and Michael A. Taylor (center field). Pablo López will be on the mound.“Maybe there’s something that works for him confidence-wise up there in that spot. He’s been exceptional hitting up there,” Baldelli said. “… I don’t know if he loves it, likes it or is just content with it, b...
