Minnesota Twins: Prospect profile first baseman Lewin Diaz

Continuing our prospect spotlight throughout the Minnesota Twins organization, we shift our focus to a comeback player of the year candidate in Lewin Diaz.

Signed in July 2013 by the Minnesota Twins, Lewin Diaz was the 10th ranked international prospect according to MLB.com. Hailing from the Dominican Republic, Diaz was noted as being a relatively raw power hitting prospect. With the right guidance Diaz has the ability to be a dominant first baseman for years to come.

Like many trying to make it to the show, Diaz has had his fair share of ups and downs.
