Capsule look at top 10 picks in Major League Baseball draft

SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) A capsule look at the top 10 picks in the Major League Baseball draft (with position, school, height, weight – as listed by Major League Baseball – and college class):

1. MINNESOTA TWINS

ROYCE LEWIS, SS, JSerra Catholic H.S. (California), 6-1, 185.

Outstanding athlete who hit .377 with four HRs and 25 stolen bases as senior. Has excellent speed and range that could suit him as either shortstop or center fielder at next level – but Twins selected him as shortstop. Was standout on USA Baseball’s gold medal-winning Under-18 team at Pan American Championships last year.
