Which Twins Prospects Will Participate in the 2025 Spring Breakout?

Baseball's top prospects get an opportunity to take center stage for four days in March. From Mar. 13-16, sixteen exhibition games will be played between teams made up entirely of each club's top prospects. Fans can follow prospect lists and recognize the names of top players, but they often don’t get to see these players in action until they actually reach the majors. The Spring Breakout games allow organizations to showcase the prospects they hope to develop into future stars. 

The Twins Spring Breakout roster will face off against the Blue Jays' top prospects on Sat., Mar. 15 at 12:07 PM CT, at the Blue Jays’ spring training complex in Dunedin, FL. The game will be broadcast on MLB.TV or MLB.com. So, who are the players fans can look forward to watching? 

Hitters
Luke Keaschall, UTIL
Keaschall is a consensus top-100 prospect who is returning from Tommy John surgery last August. He was the team’s Minor League Player of the Year, and ranks as the organization’s third-best prospect. It’s a good sign that the Twins are willing to let him participate in this game, after he ended last season with a serious injury. 

Kaelen Culpepper, SS
Culpepper was Minnesota’s first-round pick in 2024. Many believe he can stick at shortstop, and he showcased elite contact rate and plate discipline in his pro debut. The 2025 season will be his first full campaign as a pro, and he has a chance to be a top-100 prospect by season’s end.  

Brandon Winokur, OF
Winokur’s impressive athleticism and raw power have drawn attention since his selection in the third round of the 2023 draft. In 2024, as a 19-year-old, he spent the full season at Low A, posting a .249/.327/.434 slash line across 94 games, including 36 extra-base hits. The Twins will likely have him spend most of the season at High-A in 2025.

Billy Amick, 3B
Minnesota drafted Amick with their second-round pick in 2024, and his professional career began in the Florida State League. Over 18 games with Fort Myers, the 21-year-old slashed .222/.351/.413, with three doubles and three home runs. He showcased a well-rounded offensive profile, including nearly as many walks (12) as strikeouts. MLB Pipeline considered him among the game’s best third base prospects at the season's end. 

Diego Cartaya, C
Cartaya was a former top prospect with the Dodgers, before joining the Twins in a trade this winter. There is a chance he could be the heir apparent to Christian Vázquez in Minnesota’s big-league catching duo. The Twins don’t have any standout catching prospects, so he has a chance to establish himself as the team’s catcher of the future. 

Others Hitters on the Roster: Ricardo Olivar, Rayne Doncon, Khadim Diaw, Jaime Ferrer, Dameury Pena, Danny De Andrade, Rubel Cespedes, Gabriel Gonzalez, Eduardo Beltre, Yasser Mercedes, Kala’i Rosario

Pitchers
Travis Adams, RHP
Adams was a surprise addition to the Twins’ 40-man roster this winter. He also showed a lot of improvement this year, after struggling mightily in 2023 as a 23-year-old at Double A. He reduced his ERA from 5.66 to 3.67, earning a late-season promotion to Triple A, where he made four appearances. He throws strikes and gets ground balls, which can be a recipe for success at the big-league level. 

Kyle Bischoff, RHP
In 2025, he moved from High A to Triple A and posted a 29.9% strikeout rate and a 10.0% walk rate in 61 1/3 innings. He was strictly used as a reliever, which could put him on the fast track to making his debut. The Twins like to rotate through different relief options at the big-league level, and his strikeout numbers are hard to ignore.

Michael Martinez, RHP
The Twins signed Martinez as a minor-league free agent this winter, coming from the Dodger organization. Last season, he made 38 relief appearances between High A and Double A. In 42 1/3 innings, he posted a 1.91 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP and a 26.7% strikeout rate. Like Bischoff, he has a quick path to the big-league level if he can continue to overpower hitters in the upper minors. 

Jason Doktorczyk, RHP
Minnesota drafted Doktorczyk in the 9th round of the 2024 MLB Draft, and he has yet to make his professional debut. In his final collegiate season, he posted a 3.95 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP in 84 1/3 innings. The Twins have had luck developing mid-to-late-round college arms into top pitching prospects, and this will be the first chance for fans to get eyes on Doktorczyk. 

Other Pitchers on the Roster: Tanner Hall, Jeremy Lee, Juan Mendez, Jaylen Nowlin, Wilker Reyes, Jacob Wosinski

Some big names are obviously absent from this roster. Walker Jenkins and Emmanuel Rodriguez are both dealing with ankle injuries. Marco Raya has a quad injury, and the Twins are slowly preparing him to get back into games. All three prospects could appear in games for the Twins this season, so that’s another reason for the Twins to be careful with their top players. The team is also electing to hold their next wave of young pitchers (Andrew Morris, Cory Lewis, and C.J. Culpepper, to name a few) out of the event, perhaps to let them each stay focused on ramping up and stretching out for big seasons ahead.
