Twins sign, introduce top Draft pick Lewis

MINNEAPOLIS -- Royce Lewis admitted he didn't know he would be selected by the Twins with the top overall pick until the moment his name was announced.

"I never looked into the reports. I don't have any social media, so that helps," Lewis said on Saturday at Target Field. "I believed in my ability and I always knew I could reach the top. So I never had any doubts."

The high school shortstop's dream was made a reality. Lewis, a native of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., officially signed a contract with the Twins between Games 1 and 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Indians.
