Top 50 Twins Prospects: #15 Max Kepler

15. Max Kepler-Rozycki


Outfielder

Age: 16

ETA: 2016

Potential: Tough to say!

2010 outlook: GCL Twins outfield



Max Kepler was signed by the Twins this July for $800,000. He broke the signing bonus record for a European baseball player. People say Kepler is the toolsiest kid to ever come out of Europe. That sounds huge, but then you think about the lack of European baseball players. So it’s tough to know where to place Kepler. In two or three years he could unquestionably be considered the #1 Twins prospect, or he could fall off the map. He is finishing up high school in Florida right now. He will start playing in the minors for the rookie Gulf Coast League Twins in 2010.
