MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins opened Day 2 of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft by selecting high school infielder Travis Blankenhorn in the third round with the No. 80 overall pick.
Blankenhorn, 19, hails from Pottsville Area High School in Pennsylvania. He played shortstop in high school, but the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder projects as a third baseman. He's the first high school player taken by the Twins in the Draft, as they went with college pitchers Tyler Jay (No. 6 overall) and Kyle Cody (No. 80) with their first two picks.
