A well-rounded righthander from Ohio State drafted the Twins in the first round of 2010, Alex Wimmers is that rare example of a college pitcher who's already got control of three pitches, including a genuine plus changeup. A big-game pitcher who excelled under pressure, Wimmers showed consistent shutdown ability whenever the Buckeyes needed it, and while he seemed a little wild at high-A Fort Myers last year, he did calm down toward the end of the season. His uncanny ability to outsmart hitters rather than blow them away with his stuff is probably his primary asset, and that should serve the future Twins well, no matter whether he comes as part of the rotation or the bullpen.
