Coming into the 2017 season, every Minnesota Twins fan couldn’t keep the name Byron Buxton out of their mouth. They were excited to see what he had in store, hoping 2017 was going to be a breakout year for Buck. Then, they were let down.
Buxton had a horrible start to the season and quickly saw his average dip under .100. He was striking out every other at-bat, and when he was putting the bat on the ball, it was going nowhere.
The one bright spot of early-season Buck was his fielding. He was flying around like he was on the Jetsons, catching everything in sight.
