Between him and Buxton, the Twins have lost so much production to injuries.

He’s so ridiculously talented. I’m not even a Twins fan, but as a BASEBALL fan, I’d love to see a full season from him.

It'd be crazy to see a twins team with a Lewis and Buxton that were Ironmen.

Good thing Jose Miranda and Brooks Lee are doing good, Twins seem loaded with young 3rd base talent

It’s so ridiculous that in 2024 with all the conditioning, athletic trainers, and the amount of stretching and lifting they do, players somehow get injured more.

Royce Lewis is just an infield Byron Buxton

The Tins really can't catch a W man. Two of the most insanely talented dudes to ever play the game are there and neither can stay healthy

I'm glad we had Lee to call up.

He needs to get on the TB12 program.

This is crazy to watch. I grew up 1 neighborhood over from Royce, and our families were and still are friends. My brother played on the same LL team with him and they were inseparable best friends that year. My Dad and his Dad coached the team together and were also good friends. I remember hanging out at his house and playing wiffle ball out in the streets like we always did. So inspiring to see him continue to shine in his element out there on the diamond, especially through his many injuries!

As a Twins fan I just wish he wasn't made of glass. :(

props to this guy. bros a blue jays fan, watched this guy tear his team apart in the playoffs, but still recognizes how special this player is. You are an awesome baseball youtuber my man.

Royce is my favorite player by far. As a player and a person, he’s the GOAT

his muscle bound body is just too tight to play athletics and stay healthy. He will always be this way, it's genetic.

he’s extremely talented and showed a lot of potential last season. he’s one of my favorite Twins players, I genuinely wish he could stay healthy. hope he can bounce back and make an impact

He'll be lucky to play to 32. Those lower body injuries are a big problem with MLB, only has five more years before the body start saying nope nope nope...and he is playing in Minnesota.

Maybe the Twins should invest in more training staff to help these young guys prevent injury. Why are all these young guys so chronically injured?

As a native MN and twins fans… both Lewis and buxton just make me cry. And I though I had just gotten over bilateral leg weakness…

Came from the stream i believe 2025 could be royce lewis “breakout year” with little injuries

He’d honestly be best in the game without injuries, hopefully we see a full season out of him before it’s too late.

Between him and Buxton Twins have so much talent that can disappear any given night. Both great players, both made of glass

Bro im a twins fan and it sucks to see. He puts up literal mvp numbers when healthy, but he cant stay healthy. Luckily his most recent injury doesnt seem severe. He said a couple days ago he thought he could DH

Great video

As a twins fan, with his injuries, I’ve been thinking about one idea for the past week. We have a good future with these prospects but outside of Brooks, none of them are MLB yet and we probably won’t be as good with them as we are now. So what if the twins did the most un-Twins things ever. What if the Twins went all in this year and rested Royce for one big playoff push. It sounds crazy, but the twins offense has been insane. The Twins are only held back by pitching, what if we went for Crochet, whatever the price. I’m a young twins fan, just saw the first playoff win of my lifetime. I understand that patience is a virtue and that with where are prospects are, we have a good future. However, we have 6 top 100 prospects and we’re already good, we don’t need all those guys. I understand I’m being greedy and that playoff baseball is unpredictable, but I’d love to see the Twins do something like this once. They’ve proven they can do stuff like this with Correa, so I’d like to see them make a blockbuster move, “all in”.

his often getting injured is pissing me off, and im not even a twins fan. fcking stay healthy or gtfo of the game dude.

Minnesota sports is cursed. Hopefully Royce is 100% before the playoffs

only really got back into following the twins last year (grew up a fan but stopped watching baseball for about a decade) and I was absolutely blown away by Royce's performance, I really believe that eventually he'll get his season not plagued by injuries and it will be absolutely electric, just got to make sure there are enough pieces around him to have the team be competitive, excited to see what the future holds for him because he's an absolute warrior and will continue on no matter what

Man it’s like Byron Buxton all over again such a talented player with so much potential and not many people see that due to the injuries overshadowing him, if injuries weren’t holding him back he would definitely be an elite Third Baseman. (also definitely an all-star level player) Hope he can get healthy and reach his full star potential btw I’m not even a twins fan. Love your videos man keep it up! Hope you can reach 10K subs, I love watching your videos, it makes me grow closer to the game of baseball everyday ❤🎉

Amazing Video!!! Go Twins!!

Unless Royce is fragile I think the trainers should find out what his workout regimen is because whatever he’s doing appears to be killing him. It could be a myriad of things? Trains to hard, doesn’t train hard enough, has the wrong workout regimen for his body type. Whatever it is he should get his own personal trainer to tweak his workouts. It also could be nutritionally based also. It’s too bad because he’s a Super Star like Buxton when he’s healthy. Don’t look now but I think we got another budding Super Star in Brooks Lee.

The PTSD of Byron buxton is kicking in. Why is our young potential plagued with injuries!

Leave a comment and I'll make sure to respond to everyone who comments in at least the first 24 hours!

It’s so ridiculous that we had Buxton do this and now it’s Royce Lewis. Maybe someday he’ll be healthy.

I'm of the belief that availability is a skill you develop over time. I'm starting to think guys actually train knowing they'll get injured, in an effort to inflate their upside and secure a larger payout. I don't believe for a second that these injuries are isolated or incidental events.

If lewis cant stay healthy in his early to mid 20s, the odds of him figuring it out all of a sudden in his late 20s is almost nil, hes has 2 major injuries to his knee, hes had to rehab those aton, he has obviously trained hard to get back but lost any sort of flexibility as he continues to pull an hurt muscles on the lower half. The twins have watched buxton barely play 100 games a year, he never figured out how to stay healthy and the odds of lewis doing it are low.

As a Twin's fan for roughly 54 years, I really enjoyed this. Thank you🙏. I feel so bad for Mr Lewis, and I fear this uber-talented young man will be robbed of the opportunity to realize his dreams, and hall-of-fame potential. Us Twin's fans have seen this before with the electric Byron Buxton, and most recently, with Alex Kirilloff. We're rooting for you Royce👏👏👏. Thanks for the Vid 3-0 Greenlight!!!

He's SO GOOD and even defensively he's outstanding. Poor Twins fans. If he ever comes back he's DH ONLY if Im in charge.

I have a theory about this as a Twins fan. He is a hype seeker. He wants to play in either NY or LA so he wants to just sleepwalk through his Twins time until the injuries get them so frustrated they lowball him and he happily goes to NYY and becomes a HOF level talent.

As a twins fan it's so tough to see him injured so often when he's entering the prime of his career. This team is going to be something to watch out for for years to come if the stars can just stay healthy.

His lighting card hits nothing but nukes

He’s going to be fine.

Best player ive ever seen on the Twins when he is healthy

It's such a shame that someone like that is plagued with those injuries. As a Nats fan, I understand the pain of losing great players to consistent injuries.

hate to see a kid with his talent get injured over and and over.

I remember seeing him in the playoffs last year. But I might be thinking of Evan Carter. Either way, I saw both of them last postseason. Sad for him he can't stay healthy. Hope he gets better healthwise.

One of my favorite players and it’s so sad to see

Lewis has only played 162 games since the start of 2020. Ouch

he's fine. he's 25, not 35. He will be fine winning a title with the Twins when he has a healthy stretch.

He's similar to Byron Buxton: fabulous, when they can play; they simply don't play enough due to injuries. Buxton is doing better in 2024, but such years are exceptions to the rule.

You didn’t mention he struck out in half of his at bats against the Astros in the postseason. If he stays healthy he will slump just like everyone else.

He’s not a disaster, your thumbnail is terrible. He’s electric.

This gives me the vibes of Ohtani getting repeatedly hurt at the start of his MLB career. Hopefully Royce can stay healthy down the road and shake it all off.

this is how fragile some of us expected chris sale to be

Us twins fans are depressed rn 😞

If buxton, Lewis and now Lee can all stay healthy and SMASH our team has a bright future! ⚾️🤘

They are “crazy” injuries too. Like not much you can do about it. I will say and the stats prove it he actually gets better every time he comes back from injury so not worried on that front. Still I have to imagine these “fluke” injuries go away and he can do what he does best. So glad he is on the Twins.

Had to laugh looking at that prospect chart, considering how often Eloy Jimenez is injured. Hopefully the Twins get to see more of Lewis than us Sox fans get to see of Eloy.

Matt Kemp disease: oh my, he's so good he's totally... Uh, nevermind he's hurt again.

I have a question, after his 2022 grand slam and he got called back down did this use a minir league player option?

First Buxton ,then Lewis. This team is cursed. Who has 2 guys with injury history like this at the same time???

This channel is the next baseball doesn’t exist

It is WAY too early to be calling this. Buxton didnt start being healthy til this year and notable retired player Paul Molitor also was one of those late bloomers. Royce is 25 this year and still has plenty of time in his career. Would it be great if he was the paragon of health and an ironman absolutely but the kid is still young. If we are having these issues 2 years from now when he would be entering his prime then i think its safe to have this discussion.

Send him to the Squat University guy to heal up his weak links in his body.

Twins not drafting elite injury prone players in the first round impossible challenge.

P.E.D's will cause all kinds of injuries....he needs to stop that stuff, was he injured alot before playing in the bigs? If not then something is up......

Buxton 2.0 ironically a twins as well

We have another buxton

God should have molded him using his better Royce Clay-ton

It's all about training. I suspect he only trains with baseball related activities. Id get him swimming laps, riding a bicycle, and dancing ballet. Srsly, no fooling.

Shit, Miami should trade for him. We're great with injured superstars lmao

he is so fragile. he reminds me of mondesi jr.

Yeah the might get a sub runner for him cuz we don’t want he tearing his ACL

Sucks being a twins fan

The KZfaq/tiktok accent really is a thing.

This guy is so good. He'd easily be a top10 player if he just stayed healthy.

from the strem go jays

anyways, brooks lee is looking great

DFA him he's a liability to keep on any MLB roster. Time to find a new job Royce, once that won't cause you to get hurt every month.

The real question at this point is, what changes can he bring to his game to ensure he is healthier going forward? Because, we have seen that he is getting injured every year. Is it an organizational issue given Buxton's injury history? Does it get to a point where you tell a player to maybe hold back a little instead of giving it that 110%? It's definitely difficult to tell a player to not try their hardest, but that 2nd ACL injury was on a regular season game in late May where the Twins had a 5-game division lead. Do you really need to make a heroic play to make a catch like that given those circumstances? I feel like at a certain point, you have to realize that baseball is a marathon and not a sprint, so you can't just lay it all on the line in some game during the first half of the season when there is so much more to play for. At the end of the day, the best ability is availability. I feel I would rather have a player that hits for a .825 OPS in 150 games than someone who hits for .925 OPS in 75 games, but maybe that is just me.

Twins have horrible injury luck, Correa keeps getting hit in the hands/wrist by pitches, Kepler has had issues, Buxton obviously

Twin getting injury prone MVP, challenge impossible

I tried trading for him in fantasy. Thank God I never got him.

Send him to the Squat University guy to heal up his weak links in his body.
