Twins’ High-Risk Power Catcher Pick | Minnesota Twins News

The Twins took a gutsy gamble drafting Carson Tinney at 43 — a raw, power-hitting catcher with elite bat speed and a .700 slugging percentage, who mashed 22 homers and walked often in college. His ceiling? A 40-homer threat. The risk? He’s prone to strikeouts against advanced pitching. His value hinges on forcing pitchers to throw him strikes — if he can do that, his power could explode. Defense is a wildcard, but if he sticks behind the plate, he’s a game-changing weapon. The Twins are betting big on high-reward potential.
