TWINS FIRST-DAY PICKS
15. Alex Kirilloff
OF, Pittsburgh Plum High School
Stats: .554 average, three home runs, 23 RBI
• The Twins like his hitting now and his power potential down the road. Some officials have compared him to the Marlins' Christian Yelich, others to former Rockies star Todd Helton. A good athlete who should stick as a corner outfielder but also plays first base. Son of a hitting coach who runs an indoor facility, so he's got some gym rat in him.
56. Ben Rortvedt
C, Verona (Wis.) High School
Stats: .406, five doubles, three triples, 10 RBI
• A lefthanded hitter, Rortvedt is ranked as the 55th-best prospect in the draft by Baseball America. He will have to work on his skills behind the plate, but scouts feel he has the tools to remain a catcher. Has signed with Arkansas. Hit .437 with five home runs and 29 RBI as a junior.
73. JOSE MIRANDA
