The star shortstop Carlos Correa He is one of the benchmarks that the Minnesota Twins have both offensively and defensively and this season he continues with the good performance he had in his previous team, the Houston Astros. Right now, the Puerto Rican star is about to reach a mark that he has achieved in five of his previous seven seasons on the Show: 20 homers.
In Saturday’s game against Los Angeles, Los Angeles hit his 14th home run this season in Major League Baseball. The Puerto Rican started as the second batter and in the same first inning he put his franchise ahead on the scoreboard with a solo home run.
Reid Detmers was the victim of the Twins’ No. 4 shortstop. The American pitcher threw a 96 mph fastball that Correa hit with a 103 mph exit velocity into deep right field. The ball reached 399 feet from home plate and became one of the Puerto Rican’s most distant connections.

This was the shortstop’s 37th RBI this season and his 47th run. He is 11 hits short of a hundred hits and his average rose to .266. The most important thing is that Correa is currently three homers away from the 150 and six away from reaching twenty for the second year in a row and sixth for life. His high for home runs was 26 last season, so with a month and a half to go in the regular season, he’s not likely to match it unless he has a solid offensive comeback in the remainder of the season. August and in September.
