19. Justin Twine, SS,, Class-A

 

Twine has really good physical tools, with a football player’s frame and 65-70 raw speed. He shows some raw power in batting practice, and has some positive qualities to his swing that could help him tap into it in the future. He was pushed a bit heading into the South Atlantic League last year and got in over his head, but the Marlins are expecting big things out of him. He made a reasonable amount of contact despite his struggles, and has enough defensive value that he isn’t an all-bat prospect.

 

One executive said he has good makeup, and they’re interested in seeing if it’s enough for Twine to face this early adversity. He really just needs more at-bats before we can really find out who he can be, but the physical ability is there. He’s more likely a fit at second base than at short, but again, the physical tools aren’t the determining factor.
