The Twins last held the first overall pick in 2001, when they took catcher Joe Mauer. The Washington Nationals have the 25th overall pick in the first round, which is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., with later rounds taking place Tuesday and Wednesday. During a workout on Friday with the Twins, Greene reportedly touched 100 mph on the mound and hit four home runs in batting practice. If he’s taken first — and if you think of him as a pitcher — Greene would be the first prep right-hander taken with the first overall pick.
