Twins Promote Top Prospect Walker Jenkins to Triple-A

Walker Jenkins, the Minnesota Twins' top prospect and a highly ranked player in all of baseball, has been promoted to Triple-A St. Paul. The 20-year-old outfielder, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, has impressed with a .309 batting average, seven home runs, 24 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases in Double-A Wichita despite missing significant time due to injuries. Jenkins is regarded as a five-tool player with potential to be one of the Twins' best hitters in a generation, and his recent performance shows improvement each month. His promotion to Triple-A makes him the youngest player in the International League this year and places him just one step away from the major leagues. The Twins are focusing on their future after trading several senior players, and Jenkins’ advancement reflects their emphasis on developing their top prospects. He is expected to have the opportunity to make his major league debut in 2026, continuing his trajectory as one of the sport's most promising young talents.
