Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Ben Ross, Minnesota Twins' fifth-round pick from 2022, has made a significant turnaround in 2026 after struggling at Double-A for two consecutive seasons. After hitting .219/.308/.363 in 2025, Ross was promoted to Triple-A (Wind Surge) where he has excelled dramatically, posting a .424/.528/.797 slash line with 5 home runs and 16 RBI in just 16 games over 72 plate appearances. His improvement is attributed primarily to mental/mindset adjustments rather than mechanical swing changes, with Ross emphasizing the importance of maintaining confidence. Twins GM Jeremy Zoll noted Ross had a productive off-season and rewarded his strong early performance with the promotion to Triple-A. Teammates note Ross can be self-critical, but he appears to have overcome this mental hurdle.
