Nothing better then a big man with hustle

[@forepan9981]

This guy is so fun to watch. Hope he gets more playing time.

[@timallen609]

Just got his 100th big league at bat .......39 hits so they better keep him playing . Or they need their heads examined in the clubhouse

[@fishergrey2737]

Thank you

[@timallen609]

@@fishergrey2737 looking for an authentic jersey to purchase.........no. 64 as my new favorite Twin ! Went to my first game in 1964 so seen alot of great Twins in my day but Mr A-STUD-illo is my guy right now!

[@cpsclan2447]

Willians Astudillo you’ve only struck out like 3% of the time of your at bats You a legend

[@TheRabidbunnies]

Damn spent 10 years in the minors? Rooting for this guy now for sure

[@craigwheeler4760]

He was so poor in AA system they once asked Williams where he lived in the offseason. He said 'In an Apartment, A-Studio!"

[@RileyTNTlego]

I can total see Astudillo becoming a sensation like Bartolo Colon. Hopefully he'll stay with the Twins.

[@Mr.Jtea3]

RileyTNT because he’s fat? No seriously, Your only day I that cause they’re both big boys. He’s been around 1 year bro not even relax

[@munchkin9614]

I have a strange feeling the Twins are gonna get rid of him like they did with other fan favorites in previous years.

[@fishergrey2737]

Don’t worry, I’m here to stay

[@nickschomaker5920]

Fan of TheBrand333 yo calm down and quit assuming things. acting like a legit toddler.

[@zombi3907]

@@Mr.Jtea3 He is one of the most interesting and best hitters in baseball. Dude is a statistical freak that makes contact at an all-time rate for batters with over 100 appearances at the plate, doesn't strike out, also doesn't walk, plays any position pretty well- there are highlights from him at Catcher, 3rd base, and Center Field (going up a wall and robbing a homerun, and pitching. He's short and pudgy and athletic and fast. And his power is getting better as well. In an all-time great age for pitchers, when strikeouts are high, this dude is an outlier. Love him while he's here. You don't see guys like him in the league too often since the days of analytics and player projections. They never get called up to the majors.

[@G-FORTY7]

This guy straight up cannot strike out. The man has only struck out 8 times in 239 plate appearances in his entire career. That is completely and utterly insane.

[@meatrocket1]

It truly is

[@somerandomguy5977]

He also can't walk which is why he's no longer in the majors.

[@CIARUNSITE]

As much as some will argue it's a knock on baseball, the fact a 5'9" 225lb person can be a professional player is one of the things that makes baseball special and interesting.

[@stayyourpath]

@@stayyourpath Wresting and MMA have weight classes. And football we know it’s possible, just not as likely. And limited to positions. You can play anywhere if you have all 5 tools.

Anybody here after he just pitched a 1,2,3 inning with 46 mph throws?

[@aigoorng9320]

Yessir

[@gxtmfa]

Sort of, except I’m convinced those are the pitches the other team chooses not to hit.

[@jakekrueger7854]

I'm a White Sox fan and I hate the Twins...but how can you possibly not love this guy? You gotta love him!

[@paulman9989]

Ya know a player like this is truely rare = lm not sure even if there another one on any team right now = And his hitting = l can't explain how he hits = You can't teach this = HE embarrass Pitches with his knack BAD BALL HITTING = A he knows what to do with the ball in the strike zone = HUGE asset to a Club

[@LouSpowells]

Does it say, "Position: Yes" on his baseball card?

[@KiwiSylveon]

La Tortuga is the best we have ever gotten in the minors. He plays wherever we need him, he's happy to play no matter what and he's a thrill to see grow. I hope we keep him for a long time. I see a young Bartolo Colon in the making. He may be small, but don't underestimate him! I love him!

[@reynaldof9463]

Afortunately, i take a Pic with Astudillo here, in Anzoátegui Venezuela, and he give me a bunch of chips What a great Man!
