When you look at Minnesota Twins prospect Nick Gordon on paper, he appears to be someone that could be a fixture in the Twins lineup for years to come. When he was eligible for the 2014 MLB Draft, many teams were lining up to take the shortstop out of Olympia High School in Orlando, Fla. and that was for reasons other than his impressive pedigree.
Outside of being the son of former big league reliever Tom Gordon and the brother of Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon, Nick had developed a reputation all his own in the prep scene.
