The Minnesota Twins selected seven more guys today, and their draft plan is pretty clear; stack up on pitching and middle infielders.

A lot of the hitters have a great eye at the plate and can move around the diamond in a super-utility role. Their logic just might work, and it’s going to be fun to watch it all unfold.

Let’s dive into each player and grade the picks:

Round 4, Pick 114: Andrew Morris, SP – Texas Tech

Andrew Morris’ delivery is deceptive, which he uses to his advantage. He doesn’t get many swings and misses like you’d hope to see, but as long as he can develop his fastball, slider and curveball a little more, then he should have better results.

His fastball sits around 91-94 MPH and has reached upwards of 96.

Morris was MLB.com’s 228th ranked prospect.

Grade: B-

Round 5, Pick 144: Ben Ross, SS – Notre Dame (OH)

Ben Ross is a great hitter who can play multiple positions (2B, SS, CF). He likely becomes a utility player with more feel for the game at second base.

The former Notre Dame (OH) slugger hit .393, with an OPS of 1.200. He’s currently playing in the Northwoods League, where he leads all hitters with an absurd .421 batting average. He also has a great eye at the plate and rarely strikes out.

Grade: A-

Round 6, Pick 174: Jorel Ortega, 2B – Tennessee

Jorel Ortega had Tommy John surgery in 2020 but has come back in a major way. If anything, he’s gotten stronger and shown some upside there. Last season he hit 18 home runs, with an OPS of 1.070.

Ortega projects to mostly be a contact hitter because of his good hand-eye coordination and quick stroke.

He’s also limited defensively, but his arm strength is decent, which means he can become a utility guy.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 204: Kyle Jones, SP – Toledo

Kyle Jones has good command of the ball and rarely gives up home runs. He posted a HR/9 of just 0.8. His ERA is a little alarming, but he’s also playing ball at Toledo and not your typical SEC school.

If starting pitching doesn’t work, he could have a role late in games, given his ability to limit the deep ball.

Grade: B

Round 8, Pick 234: Zebby Mattews, SP – Western Carolina

Zebby Mattews is a fun one.

At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, Mattews can be a guy who overpowers hitters with his stuff. For reference, Jhoan Duran is the same height and 20 pounds heavier. That’s not to say he’s the next Duran, but this gives you a picture of what I’m trying to present.

Mattews posted a SO/9 of 11.5 and a strikeout-to-walk rate of 5.81.

Grade: A

Round 9, Pick 264: Cory Lewis, SP – UC Santa Barbara

Cory Lewis probably projects to be a reliever because of his lack of command. MLBs 238th ranked prospect finished with a BB/9 of 4.3 and a strikeout-to-walk rate of 2.55.

Like Mattews, Lewis is 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds and could be a dominant reliever. He has a four-pitch arsenal, including a knuckleball. Lewis might be the Twins’ most intriguing prospect of day two.

Grade: A+

Round 10, Pick 294: Dalton Shuffield, SS – Texas State

Dalton Shuffield was the Twins’ final draft pick of the day, and he has good bat-to-ball skill. The Texas State product struck out 32 times while walking 28. He also finished with a batting average of .378 and an OPS of 1.113.

He smacked 13 home runs and stole 16 bases – showing off his power and speed. Though at 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, it’s likely he’s a contact hitter.

Grade: B+
