Kyle DeBarge Drafted 33rd Overall by Twins

[NewsCopy]

When the Minnesota Twins opted against re-signing Cy Young-contending starter Sonny Gray, they got a draft pick in exchange.

Since Gray signed for more than $50 million with St. Louis over the winter, that selection wound up being 33rd overall in the 2024 Major League Baseball Draft, and they used it on Kyle DeBarge.

The shortstop out of Louisiana set records for the Ragin' Cajuns, and he was a worthy record-breaker of a pick as well.

The Twins have agreed to a slighty below-slot signing bonus of $2.4 million with Kyle DeBarge. The 21-year-old is an elite contact hitter and just the second Ragin Cajun ever drafted in the first round.
