Aaron Sabato, the former first-round pick of the Minnesota Twins, is on the verge of reaching the major leagues after being promoted to Class AAA with the St. Paul Saints. The 26-year-old first baseman has been working through injuries and a high strikeout rate since being drafted 27th overall in 2020. With a recent batting average of .305, nine home runs, and a reduced strikeout rate at Wichita, Sabato is showing promise and has gained attention as a legitimate prospect.

While his early career has been hampered by injuries and challenges at Class AA, this promotion signifies a turning point. Manager Toby Gardenhire and player development director Drew MacPhail have praised Sabato's renewed swing and readiness for the next level. As the Twins struggle, Sabato's performance could provide the team with a much-needed boost as they look to integrate young talent into the roster.
