Two players with Minnesota ties went to the Twins on the final day of Major League Baseball's first-year player draft.
University of Minnesota left-hander Dalton Sawyer was selected in the 27th round, and Bloomington Jefferson High School right-hander Jake Irvin went in the 37th round.
Sawyer was one of two pitchers who attended the Twins' pre-draft workouts at Target Field. The Twins see him as a reliever in pro ball.
Irvin, a University of Oklahoma signee, has a 90-92 mph fastball with a decent slider and a projectable frame.
After failing to draft a catcher in the first 10 rounds, the Twins took five backstops on Day 3.
