Pitching misses
The Twins haven't had good luck drafting first-round pitchers. From 1985 through 2009 they selected eight pitchers in the first round, including supplemental picks, who have failed to make it to the majors. 1995 selection Mark Redman's 68-85 record is the most wins by a first-rounder taken by the Twins in that span. Alex Wimmers (2010) and Kohl Stewart (2013) are hoping to stay off this list:
