From Yesterday Twins Select Keoni Cavaco with 13th Overall Pick Twins Select Minnesotan Matt Wallner with 39th Overall Pick Twins Select Matt Canterino with 54th Overall Pick The Twins are back in action with eight more picks today in rounds three through ten. Here is a breakdown what picks those are, and the bonus money attached to each pick. 3rd Round: 90th Overall - $657,600 4th Round: 119th Overall - $483,000 5th Round: 149th Overall - $360,800 6th Round: 179th Overall - $274,800 7th Round: 209th Overall - $214,900 8th Round: 239th Overall - $173,000 9th Round: 269th Overall - $154,100 10th Round: 299th Overall - $145,000 Please join in on the conversation and keep checking back, as this article will be updated each time the Twins make a selection. Draft Picks 3rd Round: 90th Overall - Spencer Steer | Oregon | Pos: SS Junior Oregon Shortstop Spencer Steer is a solid all-around player with no true standout tools. Steers best trait is probably his hit tool. Steer is a career .297 hitter with a .401 OBP, but hit just 12 home runs over three seasons for the Ducks. It is unlikely that Steer will stay at short long-term, but he has the defensive ability to be a plus defender at second. He could also make the move to third, but I don’t think he will provide the thump in the bat for third. https://twitter.com/BaseballAmerica/status/1135961592116498432 4th Round: 119th Overall - Seth Gray | Wright State | Pos: 3B Seth Gray will be reunited with his former Wright State teammate Gabe Snyder, who was the Twins 21st round pick in last year’s draft. Gray wasn’t a highly considered prospect entering this spring, but he broke out from a power standpoint this spring hitting 11 home runs, which more than doubled the total he hit in his freshman and sophomore years combined. This helped Gray raise his slugging percentage up from the roughly .410 he had in his first to seasons, up to .627 this year. 5th Round: 149th Overall - Will Holland | Auburn | Pos: SS Holland entered this season with a profile that had him projected to possibly be drafted within the first 20 overall picks. His junior season didn’t go as well as expected. After hitting .313/.406/.530 as a sophomore, Holland dropped all the way down to .248/.378/.416 this season. Holland has picked it up as of late hitting .367 over his last 16 games leading into this weekends Super Regional against UNC. On the MLB.com broadcast, Jim Callis called this pick “an absolute steal.” Hollad is another infielder who is known for his power. As you can see below, 2080 Baseball had Holland ranked as their No. 12 collegiate draft prospect back in February. https://twitter.com/2080ball/status/1096512676388368384 6th Round: 179th Overall - Sawyer Gipson | Mercer | Pos: RHP Under the current regime, the Twins have shown an affinity to draft pitchers based mostly around advanced metrics, and Sawyer Gipson fits right into that mold. At the face of it, you see Sawyer Gipson as a small school pitcher who has never had a season with an ERA below 5.20, but if you dive further into Gipson you can see what makes him so appealing is his excellent strikeout to walk ratio. In his three combined season at Mercer, Gipson has struck out 26.3% of opposing batters while only walking 5.9%. https://twitter.com/cdcole55/status/882098710431371265 7th Round: 209th Overall - Anthony Prato | UConn | Pos: SS Believe it or not, the Twins just took another college shortstop, making Anthony Prato number three on the day. Prato could very well be the best pure hitter and best athlete of the group, though he has the least amount of power potential. Prato is one of those players that knows his strengths, and tries to emphasize them on the baseball field. He is an on-base machine, having hit above .300 in all three years at UConn, with a career OBP of .401, including .441 this year. Prato also can do damage once he is on the base paths, stealing 47 bases in 178 career college games. 8th Round: 239th Overall - Casey Legumina | Gonzaga | Pos: RHP Casey Legumina only made four starts in 2019 before getting shut down with a forearm strain. In those four starts Legumina was pretty sharp, striking out 29 batters and walking eight in 24 innings. Legumina was solid out of the Bulldogs pen in 2018, with an ERA of 2.77 and a strikeout to walk ratio of 52 to 7 over 48 and 2/3 innings. Legumina has a strong fastball that he can pump up into the mid 90’s with a decent amount of arm side run. He also features a sharp breaking ball that can be an effective swing and miss pitch. 9th Round: 269th Overall - Brent Headrick | Illinois State | Pos: LHP Brent Headrick was the Friday night ace of an Illinois State team that won the Missouri Valley Conference Championship this year, and fell a game shy of advancing to the Super Regionals this upcoming weekend. Headrick was a three year starter for the Redbirds, but 2019 was easily his best of the three. In 96 innings pitched, across 16 starts, Headrick had a 3.47 ERA with a 115 to 31 strikeout to walk ratio. It should be noted that in three starts against NCAA tournament teams (Vanderbilt, Creighton & Indiana) Headrick gave up 21 runs (14 earned) in 14 and 1/3 innings pitched. https://twitter.com/Redbird_Pro/status/1130882053363458054 10th Round: 299th Overall - Ben Gross | Duke | Pos: RHP Ben Gross completes a perfect 8 for 8 day for college players selected by the Twins. Gross played his first three seasons of college baseball at Princeton, before becoming a grad transfer to Duke for 2019. Gross was a starter for the Princeton Tigers for two seasons, where he had a respectable 4.35 ERA while striking out just shy of a batter per inning. In his lone year at Duke Gross was inconsistent starting in the ACC, but managed to put together a 4.09 ERA while again striking out nearly a batter per inning. -
The Minnesota Twins did a good job adding to their farm system with three picks on Day One of the Draft. With their first pick they took Keoni Cavaco, a high school third baseman from California. They then added a couple of Matts with the 39th and 54th overall picks. The first Matt being Matt Wallner, a Minnesota native who is a right fielder for Southern Mississippi. The second Matt was Matt Canterino, who is a right-handed pitcher from Rice University.From Yesterday Twins Select Keoni Cavaco with 13th Overall Pick Twins Select Minnesotan Matt Wallner with 39th Overall Pick Twins Select Matt Canterino with 54th Overall Pick The Twins are back in action with eight more picks today in rounds three through ten.

Be Sure To Refresh the Page as We Will Be Making Updating Throughout the Night The draft itself will be available to watch on MLB Network or can be streamed on MLB.com starting at 6:00 pm CT on Monday night. The draft will continue for the rest of the week with rounds 3 through 10 taking place on Tuesday, and rounds 11 through 40 taking place on Wednesday. If you want to learn more about the players that the Twins could be selecting with their three picks tonight, I would recommend you check out some of the pre-draft coverage that has been posted on Twins Daily over the past couple of weeks. Twins Daily Staff Predictions for the Twins First Round Pick Twins Daily 2019 MLB Draft Top 50 Prospects: 1-10 Twins Daily 2019 MLB Draft Top 50 Prospects: 11-20 Twins Daily 2019 MLB Draft Top 50 Prospects: 21-30 Twins Daily 2019 MLB Draft Top 50 Prospects: 31-40 Twins Daily 2019 MLB Draft Top 50 Prospects: 41-50 While many of you have followed the MLB Draft for years and know what to expect going in, I am sure there are some that are not as familiar with the draft process and how it works. So, here is a brief breakdown of some of the things you need to know before the draft. The draft itself is made up of 40 rounds with a competitive balance round and a compensation round after both the first and second rounds. With the exception of the Competitive Balance picks, teams are not allowed to trade their draft picks. This means that that Twins, who have the 13th pick in the draft, will have the 13th pick in each subsequent round of the draft. Another wrinkle to the MLB Draft is that each team is awarded a certain amount of money (referred to as a bonus pool) that they can use to pay out as a signing bonus to their picks in the first ten rounds of the draft. A team’s total bonus pool is based on which picks they have in the first ten rounds, as each pick has a dollar value attached to it. Teams can spend above or below that value for each pick, but the total value spent must remain below the total allotted amount or they will be assigned a penalty. If a team fails to sign one of their picks in the first ten rounds, they lose the money that is attached to that pick. Also, if a team signs a player after round ten to a bonus of more than $125K, the extra amount comes out of their bonus pool. Here is a breakdown of each pick that the Twins have in the first ten rounds and the bonus pool money assigned to that pick. 1st Round: 13th Overall - $4,197,300 Comp Balance Round A: 39th Overall - $1,906,800 2nd Round: 54th Overall - $1,338,500 3rd Round: 90th Overall - $657,600 4th Round: 119th Overall - $483,000 5th Round: 149th Overall - $360,800 6th Round: 179th Overall - $274,800 7th Round: 209th Overall - $214,900 8th Round: 239th Overall - $173,000 9th Round: 269th Overall - $154,100 10th Round: 299th Overall - $145,000 Total Bonus Pool: $9,905,800 The Twins total bonus pool allotment is the 12th highest amount of any team in the draft and is up from the $5,933,000 they had in 2018, which ranked 26th. With more ammo to work with this year, it will be interesting to see how the Twins decide to attack the draft, as they can afford to be a little more aggressive than they were a year ago.

Day number one of the 2019 MLB Draft is finally here, and it will feature Rounds 1 and 2 along with Competitive Balance Round A sandwiched between the first two rounds, along with Competitive Balance Round B which comes after the second round. On the night the Twins will have three picks at numbers 13, 39 and 54 overall.
