Walker Jenkins a Name to Closely Watch in Minnesota Spring Training
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins is a name to closely monitor in spring training as he could compete for an early MLB debut. The 20-year-old is currently viewed as MLB.com's No. 10-ranked prospect and Minnesota's No. 1 prospect. Last summer, Jenkins began the campaign with Double-A but was able to reach Triple-A, where he spent most of the second half. With Double-A, Jenkins held a .309/.426/.487 line with a strong .913 OPS. During his first 23 games with Triple-A St. Paul, the budding star did not look overmatched as he held a .242/.324/.396 line with six doubles, two home runs, and four stolen bases. While Byron Buxton is locked in as the team's center field, Jenkins could carve out a role in right field, sharing time with Matt Wallner or taking the lead job in left field over Austin Martin and Alan Roden. For now, Jenkins is a top name to watch in five-outfielder formats.
