Twins’ rookie Luke Keaschall has tied Mike Trout’s MLB rookie record

Luke Keaschall has taken the major leagues by storm.

The Minnesota Twins rookie is off to quite the start to his MLB career.

So far, the 22-year old infielder has played in 10 games. He is 13-for-32, a .406 average.

In that time, Keaschall has doubled five times, homered once, driven in 10 runs, walked five times, stolen five bases and only struck out twice.

His on-base percentage is .513. His slugging percentage is .656. And his OPS adds up to 1.169.

In the process, he's matched recent rookie history held only by Mike Trout.

Keaschall's OBP above .500, his 10 RBI and his five steals are the key numbers. The only other MLB rookie in the last 20 years to have those stats over any 10-game span is Mike Trout in 2012, per OptaStats.

Keaschall has actually done better than Trout here, too. Those weren't Trout's first 10 games. He had actually scuffled upon his initial call-up, whereas Keaschall has hit the ground running and then some.

It's not a total surprise. Keaschall was ranked as a top-50 prospect in all of baseball before the season by Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus.

He was a second-round pick by the Twins out of Arizona State in 2023.

No, he probably won't hit .406 for his MLB career.

But anytime you can match something only Trout has done recently, that's quite the company to keep.

The Twins may have traded away almost half their roster before the deadline. But it cleared the runway for Keaschall, and he's taking the chance and flying with it.
