Born in Germany but raised in Texas, Max Kepler first cracked the Twins roster as a late-season call up, and was a starter in the Outfield the following season. 

A good defensive player, Kepler showed through his career that he go deep, blasting at least 20 Home Runs three times in Minnesota, peaking with 36 in 2019, where he was 20th in MVP voting, though he would deal with injuries after and missed significant time every season from 2021 to 2024

Kepler left the Twins for Philadelphia in 2025, and overall had 893 Hits with 161 Home Runs.
