Twins fans have been waiting for the draft since the team finished last year with the fourth-worst record in baseball. It meant that the Twins would the fourth overall pick in each of the 40 rounds of the draft. Day 1 was quite eventful, filled with rumors and hope and more. The Twins ended up with the guy they wanted, right-handed prep pitcher Kohl Stewart with their first pick. They followed it by selecting right-handed college pitcher from LSU, Ryan Eades, represented by Scott Boras.

 

The Twins acknowledged that they would be going after pitching, and that is likely to continue on Day 2 (and probably Day 3). We will continue the draft discussion in this thread.

 

The draft itself starts at noon (Central Time) and will include Round 3-10. We will update the below list as the Twins continue to make their picks. Later, Twins Daily's draft expert, Jeremy Nygaard, will post his thoughts on information on each pick. So check back throughout the day.
