MINNEAPOLIS -- After selecting a pair of hard-throwers on Day 1 of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft, the Twins picked a slew of position players on the second day before wrapping up the final day with 30 more picks on Wednesday.
Their crown jewel is Illinois left-hander Tyler Jay, who was taken with the No. 6 overall pick and is regarded by experts as the most Major League-ready player in the Draft. Minnesota added another college flamethrower in the Competitive Balance B Round, selecting 6-foot-7 right-hander Kyle Cody.
They both fit the mold of the type of pitchers the Twins have been drafting in recent years, as they've moved away from taking soft-tossing strike-throwers.
