We knew going into the offseason [it] was going to be challenging from a renewal perspective. I am really excited with the number of people who have renewed their season tickets. We’ll go into Opening Day with a season-ticket base of anywhere between 11,000, 12,000, and I’m excited about that. “We have work to do to sell group tickets over the next several months. Our single-game on-sale for the home opener is Friday, but the balance of the season isn’t until February 25. We have a goal, of course, to sell upward of 2 million-plus tickets and, longer term, we need to be back to 2.5 million to be back to where we ultimately should be within this marketplace.” St. Peter broke down the difference between early sales last season, when the team was coming off a second-place finish in the AL Central, and this season after posting a club-record 103 losses. “We’re off a little bit,” he said. “Not as much as I think I would have expected, but we’re off probably a couple hundred thousand tickets year over year. We’re going to need to make that up as it relates to single-game sales as well as the balance of season tickets. We understand. We are where we are for a reason. We’re going to need to earn our way back and rebuild our season-ticket base. “I’m optimistic we’ll be able to do that based on what I think will happen in terms of our on-field product, the Target Field experience — which remains one of the best in sports — and this fan base, which I think wants to see the Twins succeed and will be behind this club as they have been during every other juncture when our baseball team is relevant on the field.” Front office changes St. Peter has been with the Twins since 1990 and president of the club since 2002. Newly hired Derek Falvey will be the first chief baseball officer and Thad Levine the fourth general manager he has worked with, not including Rob Antony’s interim run as GM last season. Is St. Peter happy with what he’s seen from the new front office? “Admittedly it’s early, but Derek Falvey and Thad Lavine have been everything we thought they would be in terms of their devotion to making the Twins better,” St. Peter said. “They have spent a lot of time on culture and getting to know people internally within our organization. I think they have worked really well with [manager] Paul Molitor in reshaping our major league coaching staff. “I think the changes we’ve made with our scouting crew in naming Deron Johnson into more of a senior role while naming Sean Johnson the head of our scouting department, I think that will pay dividends.” Still, St. Peter recognizes a lot of those moves are restructuring staff more than the roster, but he thinks the team will continue to improve there, too. “It has been probably more of an inside-out approach,” St. Peter said. “We have added [catcher] Jason Castro, and we think he’s going to be a significant addition. Some of the other things they have tried to do with the major league club haven’t panned out. The offseason is still ongoing, and I think there’s still some work to be done. … It surely wouldn’t surprise me to see us add a couple players before we report to spring training in Fort Myers.” Does St. Peter see the team making any big moves? “I know Derek and Thad and the rest of our player development group and professional scouts are working hard to try to add to this team,” he said, adding that he’ll leave whether it’s a “big” move or not up to other analysts. St. Peter said about 15,000 people are expected at Target Field for TwinsFest this weekend. He said the team has been in discussions with U.S. Bank Stadium officials to potentially hold the event there. “A great player lineup, and we certainly would expect a lot of questions about where our club is going, but it’s a great opportunity for us to showcase our young talent and make an introduction of our new baseball leadership in terms of Derek Falvey and Thad Levine,” St. Peter said. “Virtually everybody on our 40-man roster [will be there]. I think we’ll have upward of 60 current and former players, top prospects, and obviously it’s a great chance for those players to interact with our fans and raise money for the Twins Community Fund. We do a lot of our medical work for the coming season over the course of the TwinsFest weekend, so there’s a lot of positives that come out of this event on a practical basis.” Sano swats three of Twins' hardest-hit HRs Rhett Bollinger | MLB| January 25, 2017 MINNEAPOLIS -- Power wasn't the Twins' issue in 2016, as they smacked 200 homers, reaching that mark for just the third time in franchise history and for the first time since 1964. Their 200 homers ranked as the 12th-most in the Majors, but with the power of Statcast™, it's possible to dig even deeper and analyze just how hard each of those 200 home runs were hit. Their homers averaged leaving the bat at 102.8 mph, which ranked as the 23rd-best mark in baseball, with the average exit velocity in the Majors at 103.4 mph. Brian Dozier, who led the team with 42 homers to account for exactly 21 percent of the club's total, wasn't one for crushing homers, as his average exit velocity was 102.4 mph with his hardest coming in at 107.4 mph. Instead, it was the big boppers such as Miguel Sano and Byungho Park who hit the ball hardest for the Twins in 2016. Of Minnesota's 11 hardest-hit homers in 2016, Sano (six) and Park (three) accounted for nine of those with Oswaldo Arcia and Max Kepler accounting for the other two. Sano is obviously ahead of Park as a Major League hitter, but both need to cut down on their strikeouts and continue to make adjustments at the plate. But when they connect on homers, it's often no-doubters. Here's a look at the five-hardest hit homers by the Twins by exit velocity 2 last season with Sano and Park accounting for all five: 5. 111.5 mph, Sano vs. Seattle, May 27 This one is impressive considering who it came against, as Sano absolutely crushed a hanging 2-1 slider from Mariners ace Felix Hernandez deep into left-center field for a solo shot at Safeco Field. It had a projected distance of 414 feet, as it was hurt by a high launch angle of 32 degrees. For context, the average launch angle on homers last year was 28.1 degrees. 4. 111.6 mph, Park vs. Detroit, April 30 Park started to get into a groove in late April and early May before inconsistencies and a hand injury that ultimately required surgery derailed his season. His sixth and final homer of April was a laser to left-center on a hanging 1-2 slider from Tigers right-hander Jordan Zimmermann. It went a projected 435 feet, which was Park's fourth-longest of the year. 3. 111.9 mph, Sano vs. Kansas City, May 25 Sano blasted a 1-0 cutter from Royals right-hander Dillon Gee for an upper-deck homer that nearly reached the third level at Target Field. It went a projected 439 feet, which was his second-farthest of the season. 2. 112.1 mph, Park vs. Cleveland, May 13 Park's best game with the Twins came against the Indians on May 13, when he homered twice off right-hander Josh Tomlin after previously taking him deep on April 27.

Neal III | Star Tribune | June 6, 2017 ANAHEIM, CALIF. – Although he began the season touring the Southern League, Randy Rosario believed he was major league material. “I was ready for it,” the 23-year-old, newly recalled Twins lefthander said. “I was waiting for it. I was saying to myself, ‘Randy, just be ready for it.’ ” Confidence is one characteristic that jumps out with Rosario. He is bright, has worked hard to learn English and made a quick transition to the bullpen after making 55 starts in the minors from the time he was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2010 until the middle of last season. It also helps to have a fastball that can reach 94 miles per hour and a wipeout slider. That will give you confidence, too — and encourage a team like the Twins to give a Class AA pitcher a chance in the majors.

The 2002 college baseball season has officially begun. While most of the schools do not open play until Feb. 1, 2002, there are some that have already opened their seasons entering the final week of January. The 2002 college baseball season promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in memory. Can Miami make it three in a row at Rosenblatt Stadium? The defending champs return a number of key players and will play one of the nation's most demanding schedules. How will baseball at Alex Box Stadium differ now that legendary Skip Bertman is no longer in the first base dugout?

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
