Player Outlook
The 21st overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has a strong hit tool, but he lacks impactful power or speed. Kaelen Culpepper hit .242/.330/.394 with three home runs between Low-A and High-A last season in just 26 games after signing with the Twins. The righty-hitting infielder has hit for a very high average in short stints with Team USA and in multiple college postseason runs. He slashed .328/.419/.574 with 11 home runs and 17 steals in 61 games this spring for Kansas State. Culpepper has a flat swing and had zero home runs with three doubles in 17 Cape Cod League games last summer and hit 26 homers in 152 games for KSU. His stolen-base totals are the product of opportunistic reads more than pure speed, as he is just a 50-grade runner. He played mostly shortstop in his first professional season. Third base would be his most obvious home if not for his lack of power, and he may eventually move around the diamond as needed in a super-utility role.
