If you're wondering, the Twins offensive numbers are not good even for the league.  They were second in the league in walks and first in stolen bases, but were at or near the bottom in pretty much every other offensive category.  Their pitching, however, was near the top in most categories, which perhaps shows that the Twins were emphasizing pitching in this year's draft.

Aaron Whitefield hit .298/.370/.366 with 31 stolen bases, a total which led the league.  He's a twenty-year-old outfielder from Australia.

Lean Marrero hit .290/.319/.421.  Those numbers improved substantially over his numbers in the GCL last year.  He's a sixteenth-round draft choice, an outfielder from Puerto Rico.

Justin Hazard hit .280/.284/. 376.  He walked once in 93 official at-bats.  He's a twenty-three-year-old catcher who went to college at Nevada-Reno.

Gorge Munoz hit .256/.314/.362.  He hit .315 in the DSL in 2015.  He's a twenty-year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic.

Brady Anderson did very well in 27.2 GCL innings, then was promoted to Cedar Rapids, where he did well in six starts.  He's a twenty-three-year-old righthander who went to college at Florida Gulf Coast.

This was Moises Gomez' second year in the GCL.  He did not do badly last year but did even better this year.  He was 4-0, 1.19, 1.22 WHIP.  He's a nineteen-year-old righthander from Venezuela.

Jordan Balazovic got his pro career off to a good start.  He was 2-1, 1.97, 0.97 WHIP.  He's an eighteen-year-old righthander from Ontario.

Bo Hellquist is also a first-year player.  He was 5-3, 2.25, 1.08 WHIP with 46 strikeouts and only 7 walks in 52 innings.  He's a twenty-two-year-old lefty who went to school at Minnesota-Duluth.

Husacar Ynoa was in the DSL last year and did well upon being moved up.  He was 3-5, 3.18, 1.10 WHIP with 51 strikeouts in 51 innings.  He's an eighteen-year-old righthander from the Dominican Republic.

Tyler Fox was 2-3, 3.10, 1.01 WHIP, a fine start to his pro career.  He's a twenty-two-year-old righthander who went to school at Nebraska-Omaha.

Taylor Clemensia was 1-4, but with a 2.47 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP.  He struck out 47 in 43.2 innings.  He's a nineteen-year-old lefthander from the Netherlands.
