When the Minnesota Twins selected Marek Houston in the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft, it was a safe pick. Houston has a high floor, but his ceiling may be limited depending on how his offensive profile transfers over to the Major League level. The early returns are that Houston will be a hit machine for the Twins.
Through his first 5 games in Single-A, Houston has 9 hits through his first 24 plate appearances. The impression of Houston was that he could ascend quickly through the Twins' farm system, and he seems to be providing immediate confirmation of that idea.
