After Covid shortened the Major League Baseball amateur draft to just five rounds last year, we’re back to more of a traditional length with a 20 round event in 2021. The Twins have two first round selections and will bolster their farm system with new names.
As I have done in previous seasons, here’s a place you can
track each of Minnesota’s selections in one place. The previous drafts can be
found at the links below. This article will be updated throughout the draft.
