Today we will take a look at Ben Rortvedt, a promising young catcher in the Minnesota Twins Minor League system. MLB Pipelines ranks Rortvedt number 23 in the Twins Top-30 prospects and he should climb higher as he matures.
The Twins drafted Rortvedt in the second round of the 2016 MLB Draft. The hardest position to fill with elite talent is at catcher, but Minnesota found one with just that type of talent. Rortvedt was projected to be a well-rounded backstop who can handle the demands of the position defensively, while still contributing on offense, coming out of high school.
