Minnesota Twins Prospects: 10-6
6. Nick Gordon, SS
Nick Gordon, considered by some to be one of the top shortstops in minor league baseball, has a natural feel at shortstop with a solid arm that should keep him at the position even as he grows. Aside from a solid defensive arsenal, Gordon possesses the bat speed, the smooth stroke through the zone, and the gap power to be a #1 or #2 hitter in a very good lineup someday. He has the potential to be a .300 hitter if he can continue to develop his swing. He won’t steal near as many bases as his brother, Dee, but he possesses solid base speed that will allow him to stick at the top of a lineup.
