I have one more infielder to add to this list. This player was a recent draft pick who showed off some power in his first pro season.

Sean Poppen, P

2020 Age: 26

2019 High Level: Twins (MLB)

Sean Poppen played his college baseball for the Harvard Crimson and majored in Chemistry and Physics so he might be the smartest player available. He was drafted after his senior year in the 19th round of the 2016 draft. He pitched quite well in his pro debut that summer but as a college senior was quite a bit older than many of the other players. In the minors he has worked mainly as a starter and has pitched well enough to earn mid-season promotions nearly every season as he advanced from Single-A in 2017 to Triple-A in 2019. His 2019 minor league performance included a lot of strikeouts (10.7 K/9) and a lot of walks (4.4 BB/9) leading to a 4.52 RA9. Despite the lackluster numbers Poppen made his debut for the Twins pitching in 4 games with a 7.56 ERA before being placed on the injured list with an elbow bruise. Poppen throws a mid-90s fastball with good movement and an upper 80s slider with good movement in the opposite direction. He also throws a changeup but it is not as good as the fastball and slider. This means his future in the pros is likely to be as a middle reliever if he can get better command of his fastball and slider.

Yennier Cano, P

2020 Age: 26

2019 High Level: Fort Myers (A+)

Yennier Cano has played professionally in Cuba for his hometown team Ciego de Avila since he was 19 years old. He pitched on the Caribbean Series team in the winter of 2015-16 but only made two appearances in the bullpen. He defected from Cuba and was eligible to be signed as an international free agent in 2018. He was ranked as the #2 international prospect in his signing period by MLB.com. The Twins signed him for a $750,000 bonus at the end of the 2018-19 signing deadline. Cano was used mainly as a reliever in Cuba and it is expected he would stay in the bullpen in the USA. He throws five different pitches: a fastball, splitter, slider, curve and changeup. He only pitched 15 innings last summer - all in Fort Myers but split between the Gulf Coast League and Florida State League. He was able to get people out but walked 14 batters in those 15 innings. As a reliever his upside is limited but his age and past experience suggests he could contribute sooner rather than later.

Jair Camargo, C

2020 Age: 20

2019 High Level: Cedar Rapids (A)

Jair Camargo began his professional career in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. He was signed as an international free agent from Colombia at age 16. He spent a season in the Dominican Summer League before coming to the United States in 2017. He hit .265/.293/.420 across two seasons of rookie ball in 2017-2018 before earning a promotion to the Midwest League in 2019. He played in 2019 for the Great Lakes Loons and hit .236/.301/.342 as a 19 year old. He joined the Twins organization as part of the trade of Kenta Maeda for Brusdar Graterol. Camargo has a good reputation with the glove behind the plate and has played some third base as well. He profiles as a catch-and-throw backup catcher in the big leagues but is still young enough to hope for a little more upside on offense. He could be assigned to Cedar Rapids or possibly Fort Myers this season.

Donny Breek, P

2020 Age: 20

2019 High Level: Gulf Coast Twins (Rookie)

Donny Breek is not the first Dutch pitcher the Twins have signed. Bert Blyleven, of course, is the most famous Dutch pitcher signed by the Twins. More recently they signed pitchers Loek Van Mil, Tom Stuifbergen and Alexander Smit. Breek pitched for the Dutch baseball academy and pitched in the European championships as a teenager. The Twins scouted Donny Breek pitching at the WBSC U18 Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay in 2017 and signed him shortly thereafter. The Twins sent him to rookie ball in Florida in 2018 and he pitched fairly well (3.38 RA9, 9.9 K/9, 4.1 BB/9). He repeated the same level in 2019 and his peripherals were similar but he did a better job avoiding hits and runs. He throws a low 90s fastball, has a good mid-80s changeup and is working on a breaking ball for a third pitch. This season he was likely to move up to Elizabethton after spending time in extended spring training working on a breaking ball. At the moment he is stuck in Florida unable to work out or return to the Netherlands.

Seth Gray, 3B

2020 Age: 22

2019 High Level: Cedar Rapids (A)

Seth Gray played his high school baseball in Springfield, OH and his college baseball in Dayton, OH for the Wright State Raiders. His bat was terrific his junior season (.630 SLG) which led to being named to the ABCA Mideast All-Region team. The Twins selected him in the 4th round of the 2019 draft (between Steer and Holland) and sent him to Elizabethton. He hit .225/.336/.445 with 11 HR which earned him a late promotion to Cedar Rapids for 4 games. The scouts like his fielding at third base and his ability to hit the ball over the fence. Expect to see him play at the single-A level in 2020.
