  1. Luke Keaschall
    THE MAN! I haven’t been so impressed with a prospect since I guess, Royce Lewis!
  2. Walker Jenkins
    Hurry back, my man! I need to have my Rod Carew withdrawal symptoms satiated someday soon!
  3. Emmanuel Rodriguez
    Somewhat disappointing first 65 AB this year but I’m going by all the overwhelming plaudits from the experts. The season is young.
  4. Carson McCusker
    He’s hitting at a supreme level at AAA. He could force his way onto the Twins.
  5. Connor Prielipp
    Finally healthy. I took heart in his 3 shutout innings the other day. Love his BB to K ratio and WHIP. Almost 2 Ks per inning???!!! Hopefully he could come fast.
  6. Gabriel Gonzalez
    Somewhat intriguing and hopeful for me and his CR start is a pretty good one. As a fan of high batting averages and on base percentages I like the .368 he has. AT least this week!
  7. Kyle DeBarge
    Very impressive start at CR and only 21. A lot to like about Kyle DeBarge!
  8. Kaelen Culpepper
    A very good looking prospect. All signs point upward!
  9. Andrew Morris
    Rough start with IP to H and WHIP but hopefully dueling Zebby for top pitching callup soon.
  10. Ricardo Olivar
    Impressive track record, very nice start to 2025. A candidate for a guy when he reaches the majors of the well word but significant phrase "he’s hit everywhere he’s been" or "all he does is hit"
  11. Billy Amick
    Dang! Looks like a young Wade Boggs! Crazy good offensive stats in multiple years including this one. How long does A ball hold him?
  12. Tanner Schobel
    I liked what I saw in spring training and he’s playing pretty well at Wichita.
  13. Dasan Hill
    Only 19, 3+ years younger than those he’s playing with and a small sample dominant start to the season.
  14. Rubel Cespedes
    I probably have him higher than anybody but I’ve liked him ever since I became exposed to him repeatedly on TF’s minor league videos and he’s still doing pretty darn well with 15 RBIs in 60+ AB!
  15. Jeferson Morales
    Impressed mightily in broadcast spring training games. Impressed with a Catcher’s triple in St. Paul. The jury’s out but my eyes were opened.
  16. Brandon Winokur
    A bit disappointing so far except for the 11 BB in 75 AB.
  17. Danny De Andrade
    I like his OBP! Kinda low BAs but he’s only 21 and looked pretty steady in spring training!
  18. CJ Culpepper
    Uh, what is his injury? Because he’s pitched pretty darn well so far!
  19. DaShawn Keirsey Jr
    A personal favorite. Every out at the MLB level feels like a kick in the gut. Jury’s still out. I think the Twins should fly Rod Carew in and work with Keirsey on his bunting. Seriously! 30 bunt hits would boost that average and allow him to swipe bases. He looks like a guy with elite speed that is gonna outrun the ball most of the time on steals.
  20. Charlee Soto
    Performance way behind the hype so far

Not a shred of evidence that Raya’s a top prospect. 3.5 innings per start over a long period of time is the ultimate head scratcher. And he’s off to a horrific start in 2025.

Keaschall moves to the top of the list with his scintillating performance for the Twins. He looks like a future star and maybe a current one depending on the adjustment game.

I’m excited by Walker Jenkins when he plays which is starting to fall into the Buxton, Lewis zone, unfortunately. His projections are just what the Twins need. They need a .300 hitter in their lineup badly!

I went with players who are showing real promise. I would have probably put Zebby Mathews as the #1 pitching prospect in the system. Morris, yes, but the out of whack WHIP worries.

Jose Rodriguez has a long way to go, right now I’d be hard pressed to bet on him.

  1. Walker Jenkins
    Is he a real boy? Like to see him stay on the field.
  2. Luke Keaschall
    So sad that he got hurt or he probably would have enough games to not be a prospect much longer.
  3. Emmanuel Rodriguez
    Another guy that seems to struggle staying on the field. Tons of upside.
  4. Connor Prielipp
    Drooling over this lefty. Starter or bullpen guy?
  5. Charlee Soto
  6. Brandon Winokur
  7. Tanner Schobel
  8. Kaelen Culpepper
    Loved this pick LY
  9. Billy Amick
    Twins future at 1B
  10. Dasan Hill
    Good looking stuff, high ceiling arm.
  11. Cory Lewis
  12. Marco Raya
    Struggling with control at AAA. When will he see the lineup for a third time?
  13. Danny De Andrade
  14. Andrew Morris
  15. Carson McCusker
  16. Gabriel Gonzalez
  17. Yasser Mercedes
  18. Ricardo Olivar
  19. Jeferson Morales
  20. Travis Adams

Zebby is still a prospect to me 😁 He'd be in my top 3 somewhere.

Keirsey will fall out of prospect status.

Feel good about the farm overall.

  1. Walker Jenkins
    He's the guy. If he can say healthy.
  2. Kaelen Culpepper
    Justin. Upton.
  3. Charlee Soto
    At his age, Soto has a higher ceiling than any other pitching prospect.
  4. Connor Prielipp
    I have him higher than Morris only because he is a southpaw.
  5. Andrew Morris
    Andrew needs to take a step forward this year. A big one. We need him on the big club ASAP.
  6. Emmanuel Rodriguez
    Is he a fulltime player? Or platoon?
  7. Luke Keaschall
    A big-league ready utility. We are going to him for a while. And he is my buddy's nephew.
  8. Dasan Hill
    Boy, do we need a couple lefties to pan out!
  9. Payton Eeles
    Old for a prospect...but the dude can play.
  10. CJ Culpepper
    SP or RP?
  11. Cory Lewis
    Ditto.
  12. Brandon Winokur
  13. Gabriel Gonzalez
  14. Marco Raya
    Could be extremely valuable...in the pen. Not seeing his body stand up as a starter.
  15. Billy Amick
    Dude can rake.
  16. Carson McCusker
    The power/average numbers are too intriguing to keep off this list, even at his age.
  17. Kala'i Rosario
  18. Eduardo Beltre
  19. Ricardo Olivar
    Can he stick behind the dish? If he can, he will have a long career.

  1. Walker Jenkins
    Eventually Jenkins will need to prove this ranking.
  2. Emmanuel Rodriguez
    Boom or bust is hard to earn on the Il list. Remain hopeful for now.
  3. Luke Keaschall
    Needs a position. Athletic fun player.
  4. Connor Prielipp
    Dominant with a cloud over his head. Prelipp looks ready for 3 innings or 50 pitches in AAA.
  5. Carson McCusker
    Why not? Time to ignore the Indy ball label. Nobody in the organization hits the ball harder.
  6. Andrew Morris
    All he does is get outs and keeps the ball off the barrel.S
  7. Dasan Hill
    Have only seen him 3 times. Looks good.
  8. Charlee Soto
    Pitcher's body and good stuff. Can he stay healthy and throw strikes?
  9. Brandon Winokur
    Best athlete by quite a bit. 3 years away with many levers to harness. Fun to watch at either shortstop or centerfield.
  10. Kaelen Culpepper
  11. Kyle DeBarge
  12. Billy Amick
  13. Marco Raya
  14. Yasser Mercedes
  15. Jose Olivares
  16. Gabriel Gonzalez
    DH only, but his bat is coming around.
  17. Payton Eeles
    Based solely on 2024 play. Currently MIA or recovering. PE is a mystery.

  1. Luke Keaschall
    Probably a bit of an over-reaction to his start in the majors; there will certainly still be an adjustment period coming, but proving it in the majors is always the biggest hurdle.
  2. Walker Jenkins
    Slightly worried about Jenkins being another injury prone top prospect. He'll definitely hit, just not how much in game power he ends up having.
  3. Emmanuel Rodriguez
  4. Charlee Soto
    Good start in A+, it seems his fastball characteristics may have improved a bit. Hopefully the tricep soreness is just them being very cautious, because I have high hopes for him sticking as a starter and being pretty durable.
  5. Dasan Hill
    His stuff is obviously already too good for low-A hitters. Still going to take a while to develop but I'm excited to follow it.
  6. Andrew Morris
    Not getting as many whiffs as I would hope to see, but the basis in strike-throwing, velocity, and pitch mix seem to be there. I think he's at the stage where a series of small tweaks will eventually turn him into a solid major league starter in the next couple years.
  7. Kaelen Culpepper
  8. Brandon Winokur
    Seems to be coming around after a cold start. I'm going to continue to be fairly high on him just based on his physical tools.
  9. Connor Prielipp
    Looking very good again, but I can't really rate him as anything other than a relief prospect at this point.
  10. Billy Amick
    Another case where I think I could be overreacting a bit, but he's making solid contact at a higher rate than I would have expected so far this season. The raw power is obviously there so I'm expecting him to start elevating the ball more and the game power to come, something to watch though.
  11. Marco Raya
    Seems to have had a fair bit of bad luck so far this season, but like Prielipp, I can only really see him as a relief prospect at this point.
  12. Ricardo Olivar
    As always, continuing to prove he can hit. I don't expect a ton of defensive value as he'll probably only be an emergency-type catcher and corner outfielder
  13. Kyle DeBarge
    Wasn't very high on DeBarge coming into the season so I'm pleasantly surprised with his numbers so far. Seems like a spark plug.
  14. Gabriel Gonzalez
    Not sure how to split the difference between his hot start this year and quite bad season last year. Will need to see how he adjusts to AA, hopefully fairly soon.
  15. CJ Culpepper
  16. Eduardo Beltre
  17. Adrian Bohorquez
  18. Yasser Mercedes
    Still lots of tools, but some yellow flags on how well he'll adjust to higher level pitching.
  19. Payton Eeles
  20. Cory Lewis
    Still lots of different ways for his development to go. Could he turn into more of a knuckleballer or will he stick with it as a secondary? He's gotten by with relatively little velocity so far, but how well will that translate?

Honorable mention:

21. Dameury Pena

22. Jose Olivares - big up arrow

23. Danny De Andrade

24. Kalai Rosario - looking much better after a truly brutal start, but still hasn't put everything together

25. Rayne Doncon

26. Carson McCusker

27. Dylan Questad

28. DaShawn Keirsey

  1. Walker Jenkins
    Potential, potential, potential, but will he ever stay healthy? A ton of excitement for this kid.
  2. Emmanuel Rodriguez
    The organization is taking it slow with him. They have already promoted Wallner, Larnach, Keirsey Jr, and Martin ahead of him. ERod has great power potential and a plus arm, but I don't know the Twins' game plan here.
  3. Luke Keaschall
    Is he still considered a prospect? If so, he's GOATED.
  4. Carson McCusker
    He's destroying the ball at Triple-A, but you would have a logjam with him, Larnach, Wallner, Martin, and Kiersey Jr. at the corner outfield spots
  5. Kaelen Culpepper
    He's carrying a .919 OPS at high-A. He has massive upside and a great glove. He could ultimately move to third.
  6. Connor Prielipp
    High strikeout guy with three-plus pitches. His slider touches the upper 80s and misses bats at a 56% clip. His changeup has been much improved with a 62% miss rate. Injuries and lack of injuries are concerning.

Nice to see you put Pena on this list. Seen him a few times and the comparisons to Arraez are legit, but he's definitely more athletic.

Good to see Adams on your list. He definitely figured some things out last half of last year and the adjustments have played well at AAA.
