    Scouting Report

    Drafted by the Marlins in 2020 (second round, $2.4M signing bonus)

    October 2025 update: Unwilling to risk potentially losing him via the Rule 5 draft, the Marlins selected Fulton to their 40-man roster in advance of the 2025 season, even with there being a slim chance of him contributing to the big league club this year.

    Fulton's command was below average throughout his age-23 season and he doesn't hold baserunners as effectively as most left-handers. His signature curveball is a plus offering that induces chases below the strike zone. He is trending toward a long-term role as a two-pitch middle reliever. 

    Fulton will enter 2026 with two minor league options left.

    This guy has been my favorite Twins pitching prospect and I wouldn't include him in any trade...even to acquire a Frankie Montas or Luis Castillo.  I'd much rather consider Balazovic or Woods-Richardson or Cole Sands or even Bailey Ober,  if I had to give up a young pitcher to acquire either Montas or Castillo.

    I get that Canterino has a herky-jerky motion.  But heck, not every pitcher has a silky smooth windup and delivery to match Jim Palmer.  That's not to say there won't be issues in a few years, but Clay Kershaw is kind of herky-jerky and he's had a pretty good career.  I'd love to see Canterino up at some point, maybe August, but I'm just not sure what his innings limit is.  I'd use him to open and give him 3-innings and then use Archer or Bundy for 3 innings.  

    I still think the Twins need a frontline starter who can give them 7 innings almost every outing (Montas/Castillo) and at least one more GOOD arm in the pen (Lopez).  But I think the best part of this season so far (aside from being in 1st place) has been seeing the young pitchers make such huge strides.  It provides a LOT of optimism for the future.
