MiLB Top 20 Twins Prospects

Post by Angels »

2) Nick Gordon, SS-2B, Grade B+: Age 22; hit .270/.341/.408 with nine homers, 13 steals, 53 walks, 134 strikeouts in 519 at-bats in Double-A; showing increased power over the last year but at the expense of contact; may be more power long-term in this bat that commonly anticipated but doesn’t have his brother’s speed; instincts and polish help him at shortstop but may fit best at second long-term; would be interesting up-the-middle combo with Lewis a few years from now; stock has dropped for some evaluators but I’ll hold the B+ for another year. ETA late 2018.

10) Akil Baddoo, OF, Grade B-: Age 19, compensation pick in 2016 from high school in Georgia; hit .323/.436/.527 in the Appalachian League, 36 walks against 31 strikeouts in 201 at-bats; excellent plate discipline/feel for hitting and a potential on-base machine, also runs well and could develop good power; if you want to dream on his ultimate upside, think of a cross between Matt Lawton and Tony Gwynn; I love Baddoo’s upside and if he performs well in full-season ball he’ll rocket up prospect lists in ’18. ETA late 2020.
