The 2024 MLB Draft continues to roll on into Day 2 where the Twins have eight picks.
Diaw was the Twins' first selection on Day 2, and is the first player of Senegalese decent to be taken in the MLB Draft. The right-handed outfielder slashed .348/.426/.559 in three seasons at Loyola Marymount."He rarely swings and misses with an aggressive, early-count approach,"Diaw's scouting report continues. "It’s more of a hit-over-power approach, but he has the chance to hit a lot of doubles with a swing geared to drive the ball to right-center field in the future.
Diaw has also played the OF and 1B in college. He hit .432 in 20 games with 3 homers and just 10 strikeouts in 93 AB. Likely won’t rank in my top 30.Ferrer played all three outfield spots in three seasons at Florida State. He hit 38 home runs in for the Seminoles, including 22 dingers in 2024 while slashing .317/.418/.665.Kendle starred at UC-Irvine for the past four seasons where he slashed .342/.447/.536. The 20-year-old hit 20 home runs in that span while driving in 135 runs.
MLB's scouting report says Bender's swing is "designed to crank home runs to his pull side, though some scouts wonder how much power he'll produce against better pitching." "He generates his pop more with strength than bat speed and frequently chases pitches out of the strike zone. He does make a lot of hard contact and showed improved plate discipline while on the Cape and again this spring," continued the scouting report."Despite his shocking summer success as a basestealer, Bender is a below-average runner and not particularly athletic," Bender's scouting report continued.
