Twins Draft Vahn Lackey Top 3 | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins just made baseball history by selecting Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey third overall in the MLB Draft — their highest pick since 2017. A two-way dynamo with elite speed, power, and defensive chops, Lackey crushed it in college, winning the Johnny Bench Award and stealing 15 bases while hitting .400 with 20 homers. Scouts rave about his Posey-like potential, and after a rocky start, he’s now a top-tier prospect. This pick fills a critical need at catcher and marks the Twins’ first first-round catcher since Joe Mauer in 2001 — a move that signals big things for both the team and Lackey’s future.
