To say that the Minnesota Twins made their mark this year would be somewhat of an understatement. They were successful in their own right by drafting a top-tier player that fell to them in the first round and restocking their farm, which had been somewhat depleted due to the recent graduations. After the trade deadline, building more for the future also seems more prevalent than ever, as the Twins traded away a lot of their future in order to help win now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"s2nPlayer k-yY4CWXSrWn-2161245-9000\" data-type=\"float\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?SC=yY4CWXSrWn-2161245-9000&#038;offsetx=0&#038;offsety=0&#038;floatwidth=400&#038;floatposition=bottom-right\" data-type=\"s2nScript\"><\/script><br \/>\nThat being said, it&#8217;s quite rare for any drafted player to be that big of an impact so soon, so &#8220;potential&#8221; is the key word here, as it all matters how they will be developed. Still, it&#8217;s fun to look at the present-day situation and imagine what the future will hold with such good talent waiting to grow. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/twins-2022-draft-signings-tracker\">here is their complete draft list<\/a>, my focus will be on their first three picks, which I think were outstanding in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=lee---000bro&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brooks Lee<\/a>, SS, 21, Cal-Poly (NCAA)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Brooks like we got our guy!<\/p>\n<p>With the 8th pick in the 2022 Draft, we&#8217;ve selected SS <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brookslee22?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@brookslee22<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HNCcab3ikR\">pic.twitter.com\/HNCcab3ikR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Minnesota Twins (@Twins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Twins\/status\/1548821412663758855?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 18, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Thought by some to be the most polished hitter of the draft, Lee should be a fixture in the Twins&#8217; farm system for quite a while. Despite being listed as a shortstop, he seems likely to get some time in as a second baseman as well, given that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/lewisro02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Royce Lewis<\/a> is still there. All that being said, Lee has some power in his swing, evidenced by his twenty-five home runs throughout three collegiate seasons. Additionally, he has a well-developed eye at the plate, as he&#8217;s walked more often than he&#8217;s struck out, all while finishing with an impressive batting line.

The Twins had cycled through some pretty high-level prospects and sent them up to the Majors for their graduation, leaving a feeling of emptiness, to me at least. Personally, I had felt that there was a lack of impact players within their system, and the ones that they did have were tagged with injury-riddled concerns. This draft gave a breath of fresh air that was necessary for the franchise, and it came in a big way. The three aforementioned prospects seem to all have something special to offer and could in fact be as impactful as their graduated predecessors. That said, there&#8217;s a lot of work to be done in order to make that happen, but the Twins seem up to the task.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We have signed 15 of our 2022 draft picks to their first Major League contracts! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xIyrDWeZRq\">pic.twitter.com\/xIyrDWeZRq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Minnesota Twins (@Twins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Twins\/status\/1552046253369950208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 26, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The 2022 MLB Draft has come and gone.
