Minnesota Twins: Ryan Jeffers looks to build off strong 2019

The Minnesota Twins selected catcher Ryan Jeffers in the second round of the 2018 draft with the 59th Overall Pick. Immediately after the draft, there were concerns that the Twins may have reached slightly for a solid hitter that had defensive question marks.

Since Jeffers started playing professionally, he has eased all of those concerns and has become the top catching prospect in the Twins system as well as the 10th-ranked prospect (via MLB Pipeline) in one of the better systems in baseball. In just two seasons, done nothing but hit and has shot through the system up to Double-A Pensacola.
