Luke Keaschall Returns To Second Base
6 days agoMinnesota Twins infield prospect Luke Keaschall started at second base during a spring training game on Tuesday. This was the first time Keaschall got the start at second base since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll noted that he will "DH some" and he will "play second some." However, as the season progresses, the team hopes to bring him back to the outfield. Last summer, Keaschall began the campaign with High-A before moving up to Double-A. Across 44 games with High-A, Keaschall posted a stellar .335/.457/.544 slash line. During his first 58 games at the Double-A level, the 22-year-old posted a strong .281/.393/.439 line. Dynasty managers should expect the Arizona state product to begin the campaign at the Double-A level.

Twins Invite Luke Keaschall To Spring Training
2 months agoThe Minnesota Twins announced on Monday that infield prospect Luke Keaschall (elbow) and pitching prospect Andrew Morris will be at major-league spring training this year as non-roster invites. According to MLB Pipeline, Keaschall is the No. 61 overall prospect in baseball entering the 2025 season. The 22-year-old had Tommy John surgery last August but should be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign. The former second-rounder in 2023 out of Arizona State University will almost certainly start in the minors this year, but he's fully expected to make his major-league debut in 2025 after breaking out to the tune of a .303/.420/.483 slash line with a .903 OPS, 15 home runs, 48 RBI and 23 steals in 102 games with High-A Cedar Rapids and Double-A Wichita in 2024. Keaschall has the tools to be a multi-category contributor in fantasy sooner than later. Stash him in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Luke Keaschall Clubs Homer For Double-A Wichita
8 months agoMinnesota Twins second base/outfield prospect Luke Keaschall hit his eighth home run at Double-A Wichita on Wednesday and his 15th home run of the season. The Twins' No. 5 prospect raised his Double-A slash line to .286/.399/.447. The 21-year-old has eight homers, 27 RBI, and nine stolen bases in 57 games for Wichita this season. With 55 grades for his hit tool and his speed, the power is a welcome sign for the young prospect this season as he continues to develop. The Twins' second-round pick in 2023 offers some real upside although he could be a few years away from debuting for Minnesota.

Luke Keaschall Extends Hit Streak To Nine Games
8 months agoMinnesota Twins second baseman/outfielder prospect Luke Keaschall extended his hit streak to nine games on Wednesday. The 21-year-old went 1-for-4 on the evening and provided the only offense his team with a three-run homer for Double-A Wichita. Keashall is a consensus Top-100 prospect and has enjoyed a breakthrough year in the Twins system. Keaschall played his first 44 games of the season for High-A Cedar Rapids before being promoted to Wichita, where he has not missed a beat. Between both levels, Keaschall has hit a combined .324 with 12 homers, 41 RBI and 21 stolen bases. He has rapidly been climbing the Twins system since making his debut in 2023 and should be of strong consideration in dynasty leagues.
