Minnesota Twins have a dark horse prospect, Aaron Sabato, knocking on the door

Posted Sep 6, 2026
There’s no such hype around Aaron Sabato, 27, who in his first few professional seasons struggled to find the stroke that made him a first-round pick out of UNC and is no longer among the team’s top prospects, according to MLB Pipeline. That means little to fans who have watched Sabato hit .276 with 21 home runs, 64 RBI, and a .915 OPS this season. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
