Diaz named MLB's 9th-ranked 1B prospect

MINNEAPOLIS -- With his power potential, Lewin Diaz is one of the Twins' more intriguing prospects and was named the No. 9 first base prospect by MLB Pipeline on Friday.

Diaz, who was signed out of the Dominican Republic for $1.4 million in 2013, was left off the 40-man roster this offseason, leaving him exposed to the Rule 5 Draft in December. But Diaz, 21, wasn't selected -- he remains far from the Majors, as he just finished his first season at Class A Cedar Rapids.
