Byron Buxton’s Power Slump Deep Dive | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton’s power slump is hitting hard—two months without a homer, just one extra-base hit in 23 games, and more strikeouts than hits. Despite striking out less than usual (a sign of better contact), his slugging has plummeted, especially over the last 13 games. Pitchers are exploiting him with sliders and sweepers, then finishing with fastballs, and he’s chasing pitches outside the zone, costing him power. To turn things around, Buxton needs to dial back the aggression, be more selective, and refocus on making clean contact within the strike zone—because his natural power is still there, waiting to roar back.
