Byron Buxton started the season by hitting .182 with no homers in 14 games through April 11.
Since then, Buxton has hit .297/.355/.670 with 23 homers in 51 games.
During that time, he leads MLB in homers and slugging percentage, and also ranks second in OPS and fourth in WAR.
Random Kirby Puckett stat: In 1988 Kirby was ridiculously good hitting .356 w/ 234 hits, 42 doubles, 5 triples, 24 HRs, 121 RBIs & a MLB best 358 total bases…throw in a Gold Glove too. But OTD in ‘88 he got two hits and over the next 40 games hit .396 while walking just 6 times!
