Top 50 Twins Prospects: #27 Josmil Pinto

27. Josmil Pinto


Designated Hitter/Catcher

Bats: Right

Age: 20

ETA: 2014

Potential: Third string catcher, good bench bat

2010 outlook: Beloit DH


Josmil Pinto had a great year hitting .332/.387/.610 with 13 homers, 14 doubles, and 2 triples in just 205 at-bats in rookie ball. He has above average power, that is for sure. He also drew 19 walks and had 39 strikeouts. I really like his bat, but he doesn’t have much of a defensive catcher as he is primarily a DH. That, combined with the fact that he posted those numbers in rookie ball has me a little hesitant to put him any higher, but it will be interesting to see how he does at a higher level this next year.
