CLEVELAND -- The Twins felt entering this Draft that the college bats were the strongest demographic in this year's class. They made no secret of that on the second day of the 2019 MLB Draft, when they selected four college infielders from Rounds 3-7, and they also added a quartet of college pitchers.

"There was a lot of depth there beyond Day 1," Twins scouting director Sean Johnson said. "There's no coincidence there at all. That was certainly the part of the Draft that we were interested in from a depth perspective, and we were glad we got a few of those guys in there."

Through their first 11 picks of this year's Draft, the Twins have shown a clear preference for younger college talent, as No. 13 overall selection Keoni Cavaco has been their only high school draftee. Their next nine picks -- including Day 1 outfielder Matt Wallner and right-hander Matt Canterino -- were all college juniors.

The Draft concludes on Wednesday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 on MLB.com beginning at 11 a.m. CT.

Round 3, 90th overall: Spencer Steer, INF, Oregon, 21

One thing that Steer wants Twins fans to know is that he is, in fact, a twin. His twin brother, Trevor, is getting a kick out of the fact that Spencer was drafted by the Twins.

Steer had been a well-rounded hitter throughout his three years at Oregon, en route to becoming the highest-drafted position player in program history with his third-round selection. The Long Beach, Calif., native credits part of his marked improvement to a .349/.456/.502 junior season to his experience in the Cape Cod League last summer hitting behind Vanderbilt outfielder JJ Bleday, the No. 4 selection in this Draft.

Though Steer played shortstop throughout his life growing up, he played third base for his first two seasons at Oregon before moving back to shortstop this season. He also got experience at second base in the Cape. That versatility is something Steer takes a lot of pride in with the increased prevalence of infield shifting.

Round 4, 119th overall: Seth Gray, INF, Wright State, 21
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Gray is another infield prospect that was helped by a summer in the Cape. His head coach at Wright State, Alex Sogard, felt that Gray's eye at the plate made a big improvement after facing the strong pitching in the summer league and helped him tap into more of his power potential.

After hitting for solid average but only five homers through his first two collegiate seasons, Gray exploded for 11 long balls during his junior year. He saw his batting line soar to .345/.482/.629, as he walked more than he struck out.

Though Gray had entered Wright State as a shortstop, he was converted to third base out of necessity and made big defensive strides, particularly in his quickness and range to complement a strong arm from the left side of the infield.

Round 5, 149th overall: Will Holland, INF, Auburn, 21
Holland was seen as a potential first-round selection after he broke out as a sophomore in 2018. Last season he hit .313/.406/.530 with 12 homers, 18 doubles and nine steals in 66 games as he was named second-team All-SEC. But Holland took a surprising step back during his junior year, when he hit nine homers and stole a career-high 14 bags, but saw his line drop to .248/.378/.416.

Still, the Twins are excited about having scooped up his speed and power potential in the fifth round. MLB Pipeline describes Holland as having strong bat speed and "surprising pop" for his 5-foot-10, 181-pound frame that gives him possible 20-20 upside moving into his professional career.

"We thought he was a Day 1 guy going into the season," Johnson said. "He had a bad year, but we love his tools and the athlete there. To get him in that round, we felt good about."

Round 6, 179th overall: Sawyer Gipson-Long, RHP, Mercer, 21
As a 10-year-old, Gipson-Long wasn't picked for his travel ball team. He didn't make varsity in high school until his junior year. In college, he was told that he wasn't ready for professional baseball and would have to return for his senior year.

The big 6-foot-4, 225-pound right-hander said that Twins area scout Jack Powell had been following him since high school and watched him develop from primarily a relief role for two seasons at Mercer into a starter his junior year. That is when Gipson-Long also developed a changeup to complement a fastball that works up to 95 mph and a slider that he has had throughout his career.

Though he never posted a full-season ERA below 5.20 in college, Gipson-Long showed off strong strikeout numbers and good command during his junior season as he became the sixth-highest selection in Mercer history.

Round 7, 209th overall: Anthony Prato, INF, Connecticut, 21
The 5-foot-10, 186-pound Prato showed off strong bat-to-ball ability in all three of his seasons as UConn's shortstop and made a big step forward with his plate discipline in 2019, when he walked (40) nearly twice as often as he struck out (24) and hit .324/.441/.430 as a junior.

Though the Staten Island native hasn't showcased consistent power through his college career (only six homers in three seasons), he showed some pop with his bat with a big homer against Oklahoma State during last week's Oklahoma City Regional. Prato also made highlight reels with his defense, including a top play in which he made a diving catch on a foul popup that his teammate lost in the sun during that same Regional.

Round 8, 239th overall: Casey Legumina, RHP, Gonzaga, 21
The son of a former prospect in the Dodgers' and Tigers' organizations, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Legumina was reported by FanGraphs as having cranked his fastball up to 97 mph in February to go with a power slider. But he appeared in only four games as a starter for Gonzaga in 2019 after he had recorded 13 saves as the team's closer in ‘18 and was awarded first-team all-WCC honors.

Round 9, 269th overall: Brent Headrick, LHP, Illinois State, 21
The 6-foot-6, 227-pound left-hander doesn't have an overpowering fastball, but he missed bats all the same as Illinois State's Friday night starter in 2019. Headrick struck out 115 batters in 96 innings after posting strikeout rates of well below one batter per inning in his two previous seasons. The native of Joliet, Ill., finished his junior season with a 14-strikeout effort as he led Illinois State to an upset win over Indiana.

Round 10, 299th overall: Ben Gross, RHP, Duke, 22
Gross completed an economics degree and pre-medicine requirements at Princeton before he enrolled at Duke's Fuqua School of Business as a graduate student -- and also slotted right in as a much-needed Friday night starter for the Blue Devils. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound right-hander had 69 strikeouts and 30 walks with a 4.09 ERA in 70 1/3 innings for Duke this season.
