MINNEAPOLIS -- Spring Training games have been delayed by at least a week due to the ongoing lockout, but Minor League camp is ramping up on schedule for the Twins at the Lee County Sports Complex, where the final players will be reporting to camp Tuesday ahead of the start of organized camp on March 3.

The Twins' player development staff and Major League coaches are already in place at the club's spring home in Fort Myers, Fla., with the group working in concert to discuss philosophies and the organization's consolidated approach to improvement across all levels of the system.

"Our responsibility to this point has been dealing with the players who have reported to Minor League camp and are able to report to Minor League camp, so we’re doing our best on that front to continue to work with those guys and help those guys develop and get them ready for their seasons," Twins farm director Alex Hassan said.

There's still plenty for the staff to work on around the Twins' complex with personnel acclimating to new roles. Bryce Berg is entering his first spring as the organization's Minor League hitting coordinator and Jayce Tingler, Hank Conger, David Popkins and Luis Ramirez are all new to manager Rocco Baldelli's Major League coaching staff.

That's not to mention the complications of the continued lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 and '21 seasons, which resulted in a rash of injuries across systems last season and could lead to the Twins being more measured in building up their Minor League pitchers this spring.

For now, Hassan noted that the Twins' health report was largely positive among the players with whom they've been able to maintain contact, including a clean bill of health for Matt Canterino, the club's No. 10 prospect, who was held to six games last season due to right elbow troubles. He has since thrown several bullpen sessions without issue.

Twins Minor Leaguers began arriving in camp as early as Feb. 1, the first optional report date, with additional players trickling in every Tuesday thereafter. Minnesota had also conducted a preliminary camp for pitchers in January for more targeted and individualized development work, where the staff got to do more in-depth work with right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson for an extended period of time.

Woods Richardson, 21, arrived in the Trade Deadline deal that sent José Berríos to the Blue Jays, but he was limited to four outings with the Twins' organization due to his spot on Team USA's roster for the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.

After the disruption to Woods Richardson's schedule and the control issues that arose as a result, Hassan said the Twins worked with the young pitcher on regaining some velocity and attacking the strike zone more consistently.

"I think getting him here, getting him in our hands, really just highlighting a few things for him that we wanted him to work on, he's been great," Hassan said.

The other major arrival in the Berríos deal, Austin Martin, has also arrived in camp following an offseason of work at agent Scott Boras' facility. The Twins plan to continue working with him to unlock power in his swing and get him more refined in the infield, with the bulk of his early work likely to come at shortstop, though Hassan noted that the club is still evaluating his ultimate defensive fit.
