Luke Keaschall is a second baseman for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he hit 10 home runs and knocked in 52 RBIs, notching 149 hits across 620 plate appearances in 152 games. His batting average was .282, 15.7% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .374 clip and slugged .407, for an OPS of .781, 8.6% higher than the league mark of .719 — 4th of 14 on his team, and 97th of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 84.9 mph off the bat, hit 29.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 3.8% of them and made contact on 83.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 125 wRC+ puts his offence 25% above average. That comes to 3.9 dbWAR — +16.8 runs with the bat, +0.6 for the ballpark, +0.0 on the bases, -1.0 on double plays, +1.5 for the position he plays, against replacement level. It includes no fielding: defensive runs are proprietary and are not estimated here, so the figure credits playing a demanding position but not playing it well.
