Twins prospect Royce Lewis the No. 1 pic

Shortstop , one of the ' top prospects, has torn his ACL and will likely mi s the entire 2021 season, Twins president Derek Falvey told reporters, including of the of the St. Paul Pioneer Pre s, Wednesday. Mike Conley Jr. Jersey Lewis, 21, was the first overall pick in the 2017 draft out of JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, California. Thanks to the pandemic, we didn't get to see his progre s at the minor-league level last season, but Lewis played 127 games between Cla s A-Advanced and Double-A in 2019, hitting .236/.290/.371 with 26 doubles, four triples, 12 homers, 49 RBI John Stockton Jersey , 73 runs and 22 steals.It's true that those numbers aren't very impre sive, but Lewis also tore it up in the Arizona Fall League following the regular season, slashing .353/.411/.565 with 20 RBI and 21 runs in his 22 games.Still, at least some of the shine has worn off Lewis the past few years in prospect-ranking circles. He went from number nine to 29 in two years at Baseball America and from five to 17 at .com. Our R.J. Anderson ranked Lewis as the second-best prospect in Minnesota's farm system earlier this winter. He's part of what he had to say:Lewis entered the 2019 season Grayson Allen Jersey in contention for the title of "baseball's best prospect (other than )." Unfortunately, he had a rough season Derrick Favors Jersey . He didn't take well to a swing change, leaving him out of whack for much of the year. He also didn't look any better at shortstop, suggesting his long-term defensive home might be in center, where his speed could make him an a set. Lewis is still young and talented enough to give another year, but there's far more risk a sociated with him and his profile than it seemed just two years ago.Lewis was drafted out of high school and still will only be 22 next season when he hits Double-A -- and probably, later in the year, Triple-A. That's still plenty young. Even if his stock has fallen, there are plenty top-30 prospects who become stars in the majors. We've seen the promise in spurts. The bottom line is this is obviously bad news in the short term, but there's still hope for Lewis to pan out in the Joe Ingles Jersey long term.
