The Twins see a projectable and well-rounded fireballer who has shown advanced ability to take control of a game as a starting pitcher, even as a younger prospect. He is armed with a fastball that was regularly up to 98 mph with life, a hard slider and a solid circle changeup that have both made strides in the last year. The team said he was the 18th player signed of the team’s 21 selections in this year’s Draft.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Video","contentDate":"2023-07-10T02:57:13.821Z","preferredPlaybackScenarioURL({\"preferredPlaybacks\":\"mp4AvcPlayback\"})":"https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-07/09/9359df07-44d83222-34311d20-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4","type":"video","description":"Charlee Soto talks about being drafted at No. 34 overall by the Twins, how excited he is to join the organization and more","displayAsVideoGif":false,"duration":"00:01:29","slug":"soto-on-being-drafted-by-twins","tags":[{"__typename":"TeamTag","slug":"teamid-142","title":"Minnesota Twins","team":{"__ref":"Team:142"},"type":"team"},{"__typename":"PersonTag","slug":"playerid-805792","title":"Charlee Soto","person":{"__ref":"Person:805792"},"type":"player"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"interview","title":"interview","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"mlb-draft","title":"MLB Draft","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"mlb-network","title":"MLB Network","type":"taxonomy"}],"thumbnail":{"__typename":"Thumbnail","templateUrl":"https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/xxw1opiqwpi3gqtkf4bp"},"title":"Soto on being drafted by Twins","relativeSiteUrl":"/video/soto-on-being-drafted-by-twins"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"**2 (49): Luke Keaschall, 2B, Arizona State** \n**Pick value: $1,741,500** \n**Signing bonus: $1,500,000** \nThe Twins had to go under slot with many of their collegiate signings within the first 10 rounds to account for their larger-than-normal group of high school signees, and they still agreed to terms with Keaschall, a hit-tool-first junior from Arizona State who grew into more power following his transfer from the University of San Francisco. The Twins feel he can continue to drive the ball at the next level and play multiple positions around the diamond.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"**3 (82): Brandon Winokur, OF, Edison HS** \n**Pick value: $859,700** \n**Signing bonus: $1,500,000** \nIt's no surprise that the Twins went way over slot to sign Winokur away from his UCLA commitment. The Southern California native is described as a potential five-tool talent. While the Twins typically don't take many high school players beyond their first few picks, their move up the Draft due to the inaugural Draft Lottery helped them add nearly $2.3 million to their bonus pool. This allowed them to more aggressively think about deeper high school players like Winokur, who might have been tougher signs.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"**4 (114): Tanner Hall, RHP, Southern Mississippi** \n**Pick value: $586,000** \n**Signing bonus: $510,000** \nThe Twins have had a good deal of recent success converting on these mid-round college arms, where they often look for players with talent and \"low-hanging fruit\" for improvement, as described by vice president of amateur scouting Sean Johnson, whether it be a mechanical fix or an intriguing pitch characteristic that they can emphasize -- but Hall was already plenty solid as a consensus All-American as the ace of the Southern Miss staff.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"**5 (150): Dylan Questad, RHP, Waterford HS** \n**Pick value: $412,600** \n**Signing bonus: $500,000** \nSimilar to Winokur, the Twins went over slot to pick Questad away from his Arkansas commitment, another deeper high school signing afforded by their good fortune in the inaugural Draft Lottery.

If a player taken in the top 10 rounds doesn't sign, his pick's value gets subtracted from his team's pool. Clubs near the top of the Draft often spend less than the assigned value for those choices and use the savings to offer more money to later selections.\n\nTeams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, clubs lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.\n\n**Bonus pools by club** \nPirates: $16,185,700 \nTigers: $15,747,200 \nNationals: $14,502,400 \nTwins: $14,345,600 \nAthletics: $14,255,600 \nReds: $13,785,200 \nMariners: $13,170,900 \nMarlins: $12,829,600 \nRoyals: $12,313,500 \nRockies: $11,909,800 \nD-backs: $11,084,300 \nBrewers: $10,950,600 \nRays: $10,872,100 \nOrioles: $10,534,800 \nRed Sox: $10,295,100 \nRangers: $9,925,300 \nGiants: $9,916,900 \nWhite Sox: $9,072,800 \nCubs: $8,962,000 \nGuardians: $8,736,700 \nMets: $8,440,400 \nBraves: $8,341,700 \nAngels: $8,328,900 \nDodgers: $7,274,600 \nAstros: $6,747,900 \nBlue Jays: $6,529,700 \nCardinals: $6,375,100 \nPadres: $5,416,000 \nYankees: $5,299,400 \nPhillies: $5,185,500","type":"text"}],"relativeSiteUrl":"/news/twins-2023-draft-signings-tracker","contentType":"news","subHeadline":null,"summary":"Below is a list of every player drafted by the Twins.\nEach club has until 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, July 25, to come to terms with its Draft selections.

Twins ink 19 of 21 picks in 2023 MLB Draft
Twins ink 19 of 21 picks in 2023 MLB Draft
July 26th, 2023
Below is a list of every player drafted by theTwins.
Each club has until 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, July 25, to come to terms with its Draft selections. If a player has exhausted his collegiate eligibility, he can sign at any time up until one week prior to the next year’s Draft.
Draft-and-follow picks -- high school and junior college players selected after the 10th round who attend a two-year college after the Draft -- can sign with their selecting teams for up to $250,000 up until a week prior to the following year’s Draft.
Players drafted from Round 11 on do not count against the bonus pools unless their signing bonus exceeds $150,000; any amount over that total will count against the pool.
1 (5): Walker Jenkins, OF, South Brunswick HS Pick value: $7,139,700 Signing bonus: $7,144,200 Jenkins was the final unsigned first-round selection as he and the Twins got across the finish line with plenty of time to spare prior to Tuesday's deadline. The deal was just above slot to lure him away from his North Carolina commitment.
Both president of baseball operations Derek Falvey and agent Scott Boras downplayed the timing of the deal, indicating that it was a thorough process to allow Jenkins and his family to understand the organization.
"We have a really long timeline with Walker, and just to see him steadily get better every time we saw him play, was just a fascinating thing to watch," Twins vice president of amateur scouting Sean Johnson said. "He’s a complete player in our eyes. He can do everything on the baseball field you want to see a Draft prospect do.
"He’s got a great swing. He’s going to have a chance for real power. He can run. He can throw. And defense." More >>
CBA (34): Charlee Soto, RHP, Reborn Christian Academy Pick value: $2,481,400 Signing bonus: $2,481,400 Soto and the Twins agreed to the full pick value on July 21. The Twins see a projectable and well-rounded fireballer who has shown advanced ability to take control of a game as a starting pitcher, even as a younger prospect. He is armed with a fastball that was regularly up to 98 mph with life, a hard slider and a solid circle changeup that have both made strides in the last year. The team said he was the 18th player signed of the team’s 21 selections in this year’s Draft.
2 (49): Luke Keaschall, 2B, Arizona State Pick value: $1,741,500 Signing bonus: $1,500,000 The Twins had to go under slot with many of their collegiate signings within the first 10 rounds to account for their larger-than-normal group of high school signees, and they still agreed to terms with Keaschall, a hit-tool-first junior from Arizona State who grew into more power following his transfer from the University of San Francisco. The Twins feel he can continue to drive the ball at the next level and play multiple positions around the diamond.
3 (82): Brandon Winokur, OF, Edison HS Pick value: $859,700 Signing bonus: $1,500,000 It's no surprise that the Twins went way over slot to sign Winokur away from his UCLA commitment. The Southern California native is described as a potential five-tool talent. While the Twins typically don't take many high school players beyond their first few picks, their move up the Draft due to the inaugural Draft Lottery helped them add nearly $2.3 million to their bonus pool. This allowed them to more aggressively think about deeper high school players like Winokur, who might have been tougher signs.
4 (114): Tanner Hall, RHP, Southern Mississippi Pick value: $586,000 Signing bonus: $510,000 The Twins have had a good deal of recent success converting on these mid-round college arms, where they often look for players with talent and "low-hanging fruit" for improvement, as described by vice president of amateur scouting Sean Johnson, whether it be a mechanical fix or an intriguing pitch characteristic that they can emphasize -- but Hall was already plenty solid as a consensus All-American as the ace of the Southern Miss staff.
5 (150): Dylan Questad, RHP, Waterford HS Pick value: $412,600 Signing bonus: $500,000 Similar to Winokur, the Twins went over slot to pick Questad away from his Arkansas commitment, another deeper high school signing afforded by their good fortune in the inaugural Draft Lottery. Widely considered the top high schooler available from Wisconsin, Questad is the first prep arm from the state selected in the first five rounds since Tony Butler in 2006.
6 (177): Jay Harry, SS, Penn State Pick value: $175,000 Signing bonus: $175,000
Each choice in the first 10 rounds comes with an assigned value, with the total for a club's selections equaling what it can spend in those rounds without incurring a penalty. If a player taken in the top 10 rounds doesn't sign, his pick's value gets subtracted from his team's pool. Clubs near the top of the Draft often spend less than the assigned value for those choices and use the savings to offer more money to later selections.
Teams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, clubs lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.
