Top 50 Twins Prospects: #29 Tom Stuifbergen

29. Tom Stuifbergen


Starting pitcher

Throws: Right

Age: 21

ETA: 2013

Potential: #3 starter.

2010 outlook: Beloit rotation


Tom Stuifbergen had an incredible start to his season this year. Stuifbergen is from the Netherlands, and so naturally he played for their team in the World Baseball Classic this year. You might remember that the Netherlands were the surprise team this year. He pitched against the heavily favored Dominican team, and he threw four scoreless innings! Stuifbergen also had a good year at rookie ball in Elizabethton this year. He had a 3.28 ERA and he struck out 69 in 79.2 innings, with just six walks. The Baseball Cube rates his control as being a 99. He’s someone to keep an eye on.
