Alex Wimmers, a righthander from Ohio State, was selected by the Twins with the 21st overall pick of Monday's draft.

Wimmers went 9-0 with a 1.60 ERA for the Buckeyes this season. In 73 innings, he struck out 86 and walked 23, but scouting reports describe him as a strike-thrower with good pitching acumen. His fastball touches the low 90's.

Joe McIlvaine, the Twins special assignment scout, told MLBTV that Wimmers changes speeds very well.

``His change up was as good as any major leaguer," McIlvaine said. ``He has a fastball that tails on the inside part of the plate or cuts on the outside part of the plate."

More on Wimmers soon...

Update: Low 90's? Changeup guy? Sounds like this guy's ceiling would be Brad Radke.

Here's what Baseball America's Jim Callis tweeted moments after the pick:

Callis: Wimmers fits Twins mold, polished pitcher. Don't underrate his stuff. He's not close to a finesse guy.

Here's BA's scouting report on him:

Only a hamstring injury has been able to stop Wimmers this spring, as he won each of his first nine starts for the Buckeyes before missing the first two weekends in May. He also starred in 2009, sharing Big 10 Conference pitcher-of-the-year honors before leading Bourne to its first-ever Cape Cod League championship. Scouts said Wimmers had the most polished arsenal on the Cape, and few pitchers in this draft can match the depth of his repertoire. He has the best changeup in the 2010 draft crop, and one area scout said it's the best he has ever seen from an amateur. His fastball sits at 90-92 mph and touches 94, and he could add a little more velocity if he builds arm strength by using it more in pro ball. His third pitch is a curveball that he easily throws for strikes. He's an athletic, 6-foot-2, 195-pounder who holds the record for career batting average (.457) at Cincinnati's storied Moeller High--the alma mater of Buddy Bell, Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Larkin.
