Twins Spotlight: Episode 31 (Bryan Sammons)

[Seth Stohs]

On Thursday night (7:00 central time), Seth will be chatting with Twins left-handed pitching prospect Bryan Sammons on an all-new episode of Twins Spotlight.

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

Bryan Sammons grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina. After a terrific high school career, he traveled across the state and pitched four seasons at Western Carolina University. The Twins selected him with their eighth round pick in 2017.

After signing, he split the remainder of the season between Elizabethton and Cedar Rapids. In 2018, he spent most of the season in Cedar Rapids before making five starts in Ft. Myers and one start in Double-A Chattanooga. In 2019 he went 4-0 with a 0.94 ERA in eight starts in Ft. Myers before finishing the season with 16 starts at Double-A Pensacola.

The southpaw has four good pitches and profiles as a starting pitcher. Tonight we will talk about his background, his development and adjustments, a tough 2020 season and his goals as the 2021 season approaches.

Please join us live at 7:00 tonight to watch, and participate by sending your questions. We'll cover a ton of topics and ask any questions you have.

He is kind of a forgotten man IMO.  The K rate in 2019 was good the WHIP and ERA just a tad high. I am intrigued to see how he does this year.  He could be a valuable lefty.  Will be nice to get to know him.

Agree with Dman, Sammons forgotten man. I believe he was available in rule 5 draft so other clubs must have forgotten him also. Surprised he is not in Twins major league spring training, thought he was a candidate to make his MLB debut this year.
