Twins' Luke Keaschall Ties MLB Record with 5 Steals in First 5 Games

Rookie infielder Luke Keaschall is making an immediate impact for the Minnesota Twins, reaching base in each of his first five major league games and tying the MLB record for most stolen bases (five) in that span since 1901. Keaschall joins elite company as only the third player in the past 120 years with at least five hits and five steals in his first five games. His disciplined approach at the plate, highlighted by a high on-base percentage and patient at-bats, has helped invigorate the Twins' struggling lineup. Despite still rehabbing from elbow surgery and splitting time between second base and designated hitter, Keaschall has demonstrated impressive speed, aggressiveness on the bases, and defensive flexibility. Manager Rocco Baldelli praised Keaschall's poise and readiness, noting that he appears unfazed by the transition to the major leagues. If his hot start continues, Keaschall could become a key contributor for the Twins throughout the season.
