The Twins select Chase Petty 26th overall in the 2021 MLB Draft The Twins take a high school right-hander with their first pick. Share this story With the 26th selection in the 2021 MLB Draft, the Twins selected RHP Chase Petty from Mainland Regional High School in Linwood, New Jersey. Petty is a bit undersized for a right-handed starter at 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, but he has elite fastball velocity, sitting in the upper 90s and reaching into triple digits, and also throws an impressive upper-80s slider. He also throws a changeup, though that pitch is still very raw. While his fastball gives him some leeway, it’s likely that he’ll need to add another pitch to succeed as a starter at the major league level.
