The Twins selected Bruin Agbayani out of St. Louis High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, in the sixth round with the No. 179 pick on Day 2 of the 2025 MLB Draft.
Twins’ mid-round 2025 MLB Draft pick, shortstop Bruin Agbayani, is the son of Mets folk hero Benny Agbayani
Bruin’s dad, Benny, was a 30th-round draft pick who spent parts of five seasons in the major leagues. He spent just three seasons with the New York Mets, but became known as a cult hero to fans.
Benny earned his cult hero status because he gave the Mets two of their most memorable hits in franchise history in 2000.
