The Minnesota Twins front office had quite an adjustment to make from their 2017 draft to the 2018 version. With much less in the way of picks and slot money to spend they weren’t able to “splash” in quite the same way they did in 2017. While some criticized the Twins draft, it seems the team still landed some good talent. Here is a look at the early returns on thirteen notable Minnesota Twins selections from the 2018 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
Round 1, Pick 20: RF Trevor Larnach
Elizabethton, Age 21, 6′ 4″, 210 lbs
MLB Top 200 Draft Rank: 26, Slot Value: $3,120,000, Signed For: $2,550,000
Larnach has had a rather pedestrian start with the rookie league E-Twins after helping to lead the Oregon State Beavers to the College World Series championship.
