Is Aaron Sabato the slugging first baseman of the Twins' future?

Posted Jul 12, 2020
On June 10, the Twins spent the 27th overall pick on UNC first baseman Aaron Sabato. It will take some time before they know whether they have a power station in Sabato, but they might have snagged the best hitter in the draft. The righthanded-hitting Sabato has honed his plate discipline, can cover both sides of the plate and can launch prodigious home runs. (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
