Drafted in the 28th round (826th overall) by the Minnesota Twins in 2017 (signed for $42,500).
View Draft Report
Record pitched only 9.1 innings as a junior before going down with a torn ulner collateral ligament and missing the rest of the season. He attempted to repair it with a platelet-rich plasma injection rather than have Tommy John surgery, but surgery may still be necessary. Well-built at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Record sits 91-93 mph with his fastball and touches 95 when healthy. His best secondary is a sharp 82-83 mph slider and he began experimenting with an upper-80s cutter. His command is solid. Record started in college but profiles as a two-pitch reliever as a pro, provided he comes back from his injury at full strength.
