Twins Draft Outlook 2026

The Minnesota Twins hold the third overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft and are eyeing top-tier talent, starting with Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey — a potential offensive powerhouse with a .400 average and 20 homers — though he may be gone by the time they pick. If the White Sox take him first, Twins could turn to UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a dynamic defender and hitter with 21 homers and elite tools, despite a rough stretch in the regionals. If both are off the board, outfielder Drew Burress or pitchers like Jackson Flora or high school shortstop Jacob Lombard could be the next targets. With a strong farm system already in place, the Twins are poised to add another elite prospect — and the draft kicks off July 11th in Philly, broadcast on NBC and streaming on MLB Network and Peacock.
