The GCL Twins were fourteen games under .500 in a sixty game season, so there weren't exactly a bunch of superstars on the roster. Here's a look at some guys who did well. Since I don't know anything about most of them, what follows is mostly their stats and ages.
--Outfielder Amaurys Minier seemed to be well thought of last year, but he didn't really do a whole lot. This year, he showed why he was well thought of, hitting .292/.405/.520 with a league-leading eight home runs. He'll turn 19 in January.
--Frankly, none of the other batters did much. The next highest OPS was shortstop Manuel Guzman's .729 (.283/.385/.345). He'll be twenty in February. Part of that is because the league average OPS is only around .680, but the Twins were worst in the league at .603.
--Next after Guzman were second baseman Rafael P. Valera (.254/.370/.341, turned 20 in August) and Dubal Baez (.281/.351/.331, will be 22 in June). And that's really about all the batters there are who are even worth mentioning.
There's some better news on the pitching front. No one pitched more than fifty innings, so we're dealing with small sample sizes, but there are some guys who did pretty well.
--Brandon Easton was 2-2, 2.70, 1.36 WHIP. He struck out 46 in 50 innings. He'll be 22 on Sunday.
--Alexis Tapia was 5-2, 3.20, 1.04 WHIP with 36 strikeouts in 45 innings. He turned 19 in August.
--Miles Nordgren only made one start, but was often used for three or more innings of relief. He was sort of the "second starter" when the actual starter was only planned to go two or three innings. He was 1-3, 2.23, 1.26 WHIP with 20 strikeouts in 44.1 innings.
--Zach Tillery was 2-3, 2.31, 1.03 WHIP with 25 strikeouts in 35 innings. He'll be 22 in January.
--Trevor Hildenberger was 1-4, 2.57, 1.14 WHIP with 30 strikeouts in 28 innings. He'll be 24 in December, though.
The GCL Twins had Trevor Hildenberger, and Michael Theofanopoulos, and Frank Encarnacion on their roster. That may set a record for most letters in the last name by three teammates.
So that's a look at your 2014 GCL Twins. One more team to go. If things go well, we'll look at the DSL Twins tomorrow.
