Twins Spotlight: Episode 15 (Sawyer Gipson-Long)

Sawyer Gipson-Long was the Twins 6th-round draft pick in 2019 out of Mercer University in Georgia. In his three seasons in college, he went 13-5 while splitting his time between starting and working out of the bullpen. In 140 innings, he struck out 165 batters with just 37 walks.

Upon being drafted, he signed and then pitched in six games at Elizabethton .In 18 1/3 innings, he walked four and struck out 23 batters.

Gipson-Long stands 6-3 and a firm 235 pounds. He's got a couple of good fastballs, a changeup and a breaking ball, so it will be interesting to see if he develops as a starter or reliever.

We asked him about that process, his 2020 season and going to the Instructional League. He had an impressive high school athletic career as well. We haven't had a lot on Gipson-Long at Twins Daily yet so we will get to know another intriguing Twins prospect.
