Twins Spotlight: Episode 17 (Chris Vallimont)

Chris Vallimont came to the Twins at the July 2019 trade deadline. Along with Sergio Romo, Vallimont came from the Marlins organization in exchange for first baseman Lewin Diaz. He finished that season with four starts for the Ft. Myers Miracle.

Then came 2020 and we'll find out how that year was for the lanky right-hander.

The Erie, Pennsylvania, native stayed home after high school and attended Division II Mercyhurst College. As a junior, he struck out 147 batters in 80 1/3 innings and led his team to the Division II World Series.

The Marlins drafted him in the fifth round of the 2018 draft.

He's an intriguing prospect who has good size, a big arm with a fastball that sits 95 and 96 but has touched 98 at times, a changeup, and of course, both a slider and a curveball that can be very good.
