Trying to come up with words to continually describe Joe Mauer’s accomplishments this season has been difficult for his teammates and coaches.
After all, it’s not very often that you see a stretch of baseball — let alone a season — like the one the Twins’ catcher has been putting together.
The 26-year-old entered Wednesday’s contest against the Rangers, batting an American League-leading .383 with 25 homers and 77 RBIs. His 1.101 OPS ranks second in the Majors, behind only Albert Pujols (1.117) and Mauer’s .653 slugging percentage is also second to Pujols’ .676 mark.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Mauer is one of five American League players to have at least 25 home runs and at least a .380 batting average this late in the season. The others were Ted Williams (1941 and 1957), Joe DiMaggio (1939), Lou Gehrig (1930 and 1936) and Babe Ruth (1931).

After five first-round shots, Twins star homerless in swing-off
Joe Mauer has found his home run swing this year, connecting for a career-high 15 already with the season but half over. That swing served him well at the State Farm Home Run Derby on Monday night, but not well enough to keep that Derby trophy sitting in Minneapolis.

Justin Morneau may be the reigning Home Run Derby champion, but it might be the other of the Twins’ M&M boys who is more likely to take part in this year’s event on July 13 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
Both Morneau and Joe Mauer were named to their third All-Star Game on Sunday, and Morneau has taken part in the Home Run Derby in each of his first two trips to the Midsummer Classic. However, when asked about the Derby on Sunday, Morneau said that he’s leaning toward skipping this year’s event to give himself a little more rest.
