FIVE-TOOL POTENTIAL TOO GOOD FOR #1 

 

 

The Minnesota Twins were thought to be going after dual sensations: P Hunter Greene or 1B Brendan McKay, and P Kyle Wright. In the end, they decided it  was just too good to pass up on a dynamic high school shortstop who has "five-tool player" written all-over it. Royce Lewis has a combination of advanced tools that make him a potential elite player in the bigs. He may need a bit of development as the speed of the game becomes challenging at each level; there is confidence he will adjust as he moves up in the system.  

Will Hunter Greene be a dual-player if he makes it to the bigs? The Cincinnati Reds picked this young kid, who has been viewed as the league's next "it" player. He has an outstanding arm that can blow batters away and a right-handed bat that can show loud power. He is also a smooth defender too at short.stop. He has potential to be among one of the majors next face in the next decade.
