That first overall pick by the Twins in 2001 of St. Paul native Joe Mauer has paid big dividends over the years as he is the only catcher in baseball history to win three batting titles along with six All-Star selections. An eight-year contract extension he signed in 2010 for $184 Hunter Greene million remains as the largest contract photo courtesy Notre Dame High School ever given a catcher. Now, in 2017, the big question is whether the Twins, with their No. 1 overall pick, will sign 17-year-old Hunter Greene from Sherman Oaks, California, which Sports Illustrated devoted its cover and eight pages describing this unbelievable talent. H e’s unbelievable because he throws 102 mph as a pitcher but many Major League scouts say he’s an even better shortstop. So if the Twins or another team drafts Greene, they will have to decide whether they want him to pitch or play the infield. At either position he will be a high draft choice, but if he is drafted as a pitcher, he would be the first high school right­ hander to go No. 1. And his power with the bat has scouts shaking their heads in amazement. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 210 pounds, he can drive a ball 450 feet. In fact, when taking batting practice at his high school field, outfielders shout warnings to soccer players on an adjacent field to watch out. -j Here are a few quotes from the Sports Illustrated story: “A Dodger scout saw him pitch when he was nine and deemed his mechanics flawless.” “Several scouts agree he is the best two-way amateur prospect they have ever seen, a first-round pick as a shortstop with comparisons to Noah Syndergaard on Gene Taylor, staff professional, center, presents the winnings to Rene Lohser, left, and Dave the mound and Alex Rodriquez in the field.” Bugby photo provided In 500 words or less, we can’t do justice to the long, eight-page Sports Illustrated description of Hunter Greene.
