Twins Spotlight: Episode 16 (Adam Bray)

[Seth Stohs]

On Tuesday night (6:00 central time), Seth will be chatting with Twins minor league RHP Adam Bray on a new episode of Twins Spotlight.

The discussion was live on the Twins Daily social media platforms, Twitter, Facebook or YouTube pages.

Adam Bray grew up going to Twins games, watching Torii Hunter, Johan Santana and Joe Mauer. He went to Eden Prairie High School and won a state championship there, and also played on some great American Legion games too. In fact, they went to the national championship game two straight years and won the national title following his senior season.

He went to Division I South Dakota State, and after four years there, he was the 33rd round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2015. He was traded to the Twins in spring training of 2018. That year, he pitched in Ft. Myers and then in the Arizona Fall League. In 2019, he split his season between AA Pensacola and AAA Rochester.

We'll talk about all of that, but we'll also discuss his 2020 season, what he was able to do and what his offseason is bringing. He is just one step from reaching the big leagues with his hometown team. What would that mean?

Join us to find out.

Another great interview, Seth.

 

With no minor leagues last year and Adam coming to the Twins in a trade a couple years ago, not all that familiar with him. Was pleasantly surprised to hear about his being from EP, who was the enemy back when my son played HS and Legion ball at Excelsior. Fond memories of many battles between those two teams.

 

Seems like a very good chance Adam could begin his season, whenever that will be, in St. Paul. And once there, that call is only a 10 minute drive away from his ultimate dream.
