Scouting Report
During his rise through the minors, Raya has been a consistent fixture in our rankings despite several things working against him: workload restrictions, shaky control, and results that never quite matched up to the quality of his stuff. But any observer could see that quality on display — hard, high-spin breaking balls that gave older and more experienced hitters fits.
Last year, Raya's momentum came to a halt in Triple-A. For the first time in his pro career, he was the one looking overwhelmed as walks, wild pitches and laborious outings piled up. It's a stumble we can excuse, given that Raya arrived in Triple-A as a 22-year-old who was promoted aggressively through the Twins' system. But now he has to rebound and prove his brutal 2025 was merely a bump in the road.
He'll be aiming to do so in the bullpen. Given how little interest the Twins have shown in building up his stamina for a starting workload, this has long appeared to be the plan, but now his conversion to a reliever is all but official. That's a spot in which Raya has a very good chance to thrive, and perhaps blossom in a late-inning role — as long as he can throw strikes. For what it's worth, he's looked excellent in early spring action.
