SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) The Minnesota Twins think they’ve got their shortstop of the future in the speedy and slick-fielding Royce Lewis.
The California high school star was taken with the No. 1 pick in the Major League Baseball draft. It was the third time the Twins were up first – the last time was 2001, when they grabbed hometown high school catcher Joe Mauer with the top choice.
”My body just went numb,” Lewis said during an interview with MLB Network. ”It was an unbelievable feeling.”
Lewis played both shortstop and outfield in high school.
