We’re almost there.
Day one of the 2025 MLB Draft kicks off at 5:00 p.m. CT on Sunday. Our full Twins Daily Mock Draft Board is linked here, but ahead of the first round, I’ve compiled a list of 11 eligible prospects from the top 100 consensus rankings who align with the Twins’ tendencies. Each includes their consensus rank and my full write-up from the board. Drop your favorites in the comments.
13. Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
Bremner is a young-for-the-class right-hander with legit starter traits. At 6’2”, 190, he’s an elite mover with a high-upside frame and room to add strength. His fastball sits 94–96 mph (T98) with late carry (19” IVB), paired with a devastating changeup — arguably MLB-ready — that generates 20” of fade and over a 40% whiff rate. His slider is solid, though clearly the third pitch.
After a slow start in 2025, he finished strong: 77.1 IP, 2.14 FIP, 35.8 K%, 6.1 BB%. There’s room for command refinement and maybe an expanded arsenal, but don’t let the early-season dip fool you — he has playoff starter upside.
14. Gavin Fien, INF, Great Oaks HS, CA
Fien, a Texas commit, is a physical 6’3” third baseman/outfielder with one of the best prep bats in the class. His swing — high hands, toe tap into a leg kick — is unorthodox but consistently on time. It’s line-drive power now, with more to come.
The glove, arm, and speed are average, so he’ll have to hit. Still, he’s an arrow-up bat in a draft light on polished prep hitters.
15. Gavin Kilen, INF, Tennessee
Kilen is a compact, high-contact middle infielder who’s added pop in 2025. He traded a bit of contact for power and it worked — his EV90 jumped to 104 mph with a Max EV of 108. He’s patient, doesn’t chase, and can elevate pull-side.
Kilen finished 2025 hitting .357/.441/.671 with 15 HR, 139 wRC+, 12.2 BB%, and just 11 K%. A high-floor, versatile profile with a chance to stick up the middle.
18. Daniel Pierce, SS, Mill Creek HS, GA
Daniel Pierce is a right-handed hitting prep shortstop prospect out of Georgia. He's one of the more polished defensive shortstop prospects in the class with smooth actions, quick lateral movement, and a plus arm that can make all the throws needed to stick there long term.
The bat isn't yet as loud as some of the supplementary tools. It's solid bat-to-ball and pure hitting skills, with a good eye and approach at the plate. A drafting organization will be betting his hit tool develops to, at worst, above average. At present, the power is fringy. Pierce is a plus runner too, adding more avenues to accrue value for a drafting team. The ceiling will be determined by how the bat develops, but this is one of the better pro shortstop profiles in the class.
22. Xavier Neyens, 3B, Mount Vernon HS, WA
Neyens and Ethan Holliday have some similarities in their profiles, for me. Neyens has serious raw power and a patient approach, but there are hit tool and defensive questions. He starts from a wide base with a big leg kick and high hands. When he connects, the ball jumps, but breaking balls have given him fits.
He’s a below-average runner but moves well and has a plus arm. If he makes enough contact, he could be one of the better power bats in the class.
28. Devin Taylor, OF, Indiana
Taylor might be the safest hit/power bat in the college class. The lefty corner outfielder has average arm strength, below-average speed, and major offensive juice: .374/.494/.706 with 18 HR, 19.3 BB%, and 11.2 K% in 2025 for Indiana.
He consistently barrels the ball (EV90 of 107, Max EV of 112) and doesn’t chase much. Taylor showed growth each year at Indiana and backed it up in the Cape. One of the most complete college bats available.
45. Charles Davalan, OF, Arkansas
A compact Canadian-born outfielder, Davalan transferred from FGCU and broke out in 2025: .346/.433/.561 with 14 HR, 11 BB%, and 8.5 K%. Known for his bat-to-ball skills, he added impact this year, with EVs over 110 mph.
He’s undersized but strong and athletic. The hit tool carries this profile, and his performance against better SEC pitching moved him up boards.
50. Angel Cervantes, RHP, Warren HS, CA
One of my favorite arms in the class. Cervantes is a projectable 6’2” prep righty with a clean delivery and four-pitch mix. His fastball sits 90–92 (T94) with ride, and his changeup is elite — fade, depth, and swing-and-miss.
The secondaries need refinement (curve and slider blur), but he has advanced feel for spin. He’ll still be 17 on draft day and checks a lot of boxes: projection, polish, athleticism. He’s a top-50 talent.
68. Joseph Dzierwa, LHP, Michigan State
A 6’8” lefty with a breakout 2025 campaign. Dzierwa throws from a three-quarters slot with a slingy delivery. His fastball ticked up to 91.6 mph (T95) with decent spin (2600 RPM), and his changeup is his best pitch — 26% zone whiff with great separation.
His breaking stuff lags behind — his slider and curve combined for just 11% usage — but his strike-throwing is elite: 73% strikes with the fastball, 69% with the changeup. He’s a moldable arm who fits an org that develops velo and pitch design.
75. Korbyn Dickerson, OF, Indiana
I’ll die on this hill: Dickerson is under-ranked. Drafted by the Twins in 2022, he transferred from Louisville to Indiana and exploded in 2025: .314/.381/.632 with 19 HR, 123 wRC+, 9 BB%, and 18.8 K%.
There’s some swing noise, but the raw tools are loud — 117 Max EV, 109.8 EV90. There’s hit tool risk (especially vs. offspeed), but he’s a plus athlete with a shot to stick in center. If a team can refine his swing decisions, he’s a potential star.
83. Mitch Voit, 2B, Michigan
Voit, a former two-way guy, focused solely on hitting in 2025 and emerged as a solid hit/power college bat. He hit .346/.471/.668 with 14 HR, a 157 wRC+, 15.3 BB%, and just a 13 K%. His EV90 sat at 105.6 mph and he whiffed just 11.7% in zone.
There’s plus speed and an above-average arm. With versatility and OBP skills, Voit could hit 15–20 HR as a pro — a well-rounded offensive profile that tends to rise in the draft.
92. Easton Carmichael, C, Oklahoma
Carmichael surged into the second tier of college catchers in 2025. The righty swinger has solid bat-to-ball skills, a disciplined approach, and surprising pull power (17 HR). He boosted his walk rate from 6.9% to 9.1% and kept the K-rate under 16%.
Defensively, he’s a work in progress — receiving, blocking, and arm strength are all a bit light. But if you value offensive skills behind the plate, Carmichael’s a legit name to watch.
