The Minnesota Twins are making waves as one of the top contenders in the American League, and their future looks even brighter.
Currently sitting in second place in the American League Central with an impressive 65-52 record, the Twins are gearing up for a strong postseason push. In a strategic move to bolster their lineup, the team has reportedly called up their No. 6 prospect, Zebby Matthews, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
“The Minnesota Twins are bringing up right-hander Zebby Matthews, a rising star in the world of baseball this year,” Passan announced. “Matthews, an eighth-round pick from Western Carolina in 2022, boasts an impressive 114 strikeouts and just seven walks in 97 innings pitched. With elite command and solid pitching, he’s a force to be reckoned with.”
At only 24 years old, Matthews now has the chance to make a significant impact in the Twins’ starting rotation. With an impressive 2.60 ERA in 18 games this season, he is a standout talent in the Twins’ farm system, drafted in the eighth round of the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft.
His promotion to the majors is a clear indication of his talent and potential, and Twins fans have every reason to be excited. With an already strong roster and impressive record, the addition of Matthews could take the team to new heights.
