Aaron Gleeman Updates Top 20 Prospects Following MLB Draft

[Matthew Lenz]

With the 2025 MLB draft behind us, many prospectors will be updating their prospect lists. Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic is one of the first to do so.

Of the 21 Minnesota Twins draftees, three of them make Gleeman's top 20 from jump.

Marek Houston, the Twins' 16th overall pick, cracks the top 10, coming in at number 7 on the list. Currently, he looks to be a glove-first shortstop, though his hit tool improved over three seasons for the Wake Forest Demons.

Riley Quick, drafted 36th overall (1st round comp pick), rounds out the top 10. He's been compared to 2023 Twins draftees, Connor Prielipp, as a drafted out of Alabama with big-time stuff but injury concerns.

Quentin Young, drafted 54th overall, comes in at number 15. A prep infielder, Young is extremely young, raw, and projectible.

Other notable movement in his top 20 includes SP Dasan Hill jumping from 20th to 6th, OF Gabriel Gonzalez from 21st to 8th, and SP Jose Olivares from 35th to 20.

*Doink!* Paywall. I ditched the NYT a while back, not going to re-up for this.

My only real quibble is dropping Soto a handful of spots. I know he's injured currently, but the talent and potential are tremendous. And he was off to a great start this season. I don't think injury vs potential should have dropped him quite as many spots.
