Honorable Mentions #20: Travis Blankenhorn
Blankenhorn was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2015 draft by the Minnesota Twins. He’s from Pottsville, Pennsylvania and was an excellent all-around athlete in high school. He played shortstop at Pottsville High but it looks he’ll end up at the hot corner. According to Twins scouting director Deron Johnson, “He’s a strong, powerful kid. We really like his swing and think he has chance for power.”
He was committed to the University of Kentucky but a $650,000 signing bonus changed his mind.
