Pro Day 2025! Appreciate everyone who came out to throw, hit, scout, watch, and operate this event at BPC 🔥
Going to use this thread to highlight standout FAs, HS hitters, and HS arms.
Let’s start with the best arm of the night: Andrew Bechtold. Ran the FB up to 98, avg 97.1 and showed off his cutter (new) and gyro SL.
Widened out the arsenal this winter, fine tuned the delivery to get his glove side miss back over the plate and gave him a weapon to use behind in the count. Excited to see where he falls.

.@GVAthletics grad Andrew Bechtold reached Triple A as an infielder. Then one bullpen session changed everything

Former #MNTwins farmhand, Steven Cruz, on the mound and facing his 2022 teammate. But this is Bechtani and he does Bechtani things. A two-run homer to right, his eighth of the season. Lead 3-2 still batting top 7.
The pitching debut of the newest two way player Andrew Bechtold. Tosses 1.0 scoreless inning giving up one hit, while walking one and striking out one. Fastball averaged 96.9 mph and topped out at 98.1 mph with an average spin rate 2401. Threw 5 sliders as well. Impressive debut
Congratulations to @Bechtold5 and @chrisw316 for being called up to St. Paul Saints Baseball!
New roster additions include: Infielder, Will Holland and 2020 First Round Draft Pick, Aaron Sabato who is fifth in the Twins organization with 17 home runs and 58 RBI.
Andrew Bechtold with the longest home run at Riverfront Stadium. 500 feet, 110 mph off the bat. @hartmanboy7 confirmed it today with rangefinder. @WindSurgeICT@Twins
When did ticket scalping become legal? Can’t get tickets to @MorganWallen in Allentown from the venue right after they went on sale, but there are tons on resale for 5 times the original price.
