Final Thoughts: GCL Twins

With the exception of Kohl Stewart, I really have no idea who's supposed to be a top prospect on this team.  Here's who did well this year.

--The only batter with an OPS of over .710 was Zach Larson, who we discussed yesterday.  Of the others, the highest was Amaurys Minier, who hit .214/.252/.455 with 6 home runs in 112 at-bats.  I included him in the prospect watch this year because Seth Stohs seems to be high on him.  He was 17 this season, so he certainly has time to improve.  He's a shortstop.

--Alex Swim, a catcher hit .287/.357/.344.  in 122 at-bats.  He's 22.

--Jason Kanzler, an outfielder, hit .220/.286/.390 in 159 at-bats.  He was 13-for-14 in stolen bases.  He turned 23 in August.

--Will Hurt, a shortstop, hit .243/.387/.284 in 74 at-bats.  This is a substantial improvement over last year, when he hit .141/.221/.141 in 78 at-bats.  He'll be 20 in December and was a 16th round draft choice in 2012.

--Adonis Pacheco has an awesome name.  An outfielder, he hit .225/.291/.345 in 142 at-bats.  He was in the DSL for three years prior to this season.

--There are a lot of pitchers who did well, but the most innings anyone threw was 45, so who knows what that means.  Anyway, here are a few of them:

--Fernando Romero was 2-0, 1.60, 1.00 WHIP with 13 walks and 47 strikeouts in 45 innings.  He'll be 19 in December.

--Lewis Thorpe was 4-1, 2.05, 0.86 WHIP with 6 walks and 64 strikeouts in 44 innings.  He'll be 18 in November.

--Sam Gibbons was 3-3, 1.91, 1.18 WHIP with 10 walks and 30 strikeouts in 42.1 innings.  He'll be 20 in December.

--Chih-Wei Hu was 2-0, 2.45, 0.98 WHIP with 8 walks and 39 strikeouts in 36.2 innings.  He's from Taiwan, and will be 20 in November.

--Jose Abreu was 2-3, 1.61, 0.82 WHIP with 5 walks and 30 strikeouts in 28 innings.  He was 21 in July.

--Miguel Gonzalez was 0-0, 1.05, 1.31 WHIP with 9 walks and 33 strikeouts in 25.2 innings.  He'll be 19 in October.

--Kohl Stewart was 0-0, 1.69, 0.94 WHIP with 3 walks and 16 strikeouts in 16 innings.  He threw four shutout innings in Elizabethton, giving up one hit and one walk and striking out eight.  He'll be 19 in October.

--Tyler Stirewalt was 1-1, 0.57, 0.83 WHIP with 5 walks and 20 strikeouts in 15.2 innings.  He'll be 23 in December.

So, there are your 2013 GCL Twins.  If all goes well, we'll review the DSL Twins tomorrow.  Then, we'll take a couple of weeks off until it's time to preview the Arizona Fall League!
