Connecticut high school star Aaron Sabato called up to Minnesota Twins roster, makes MLB debut
Sabato set franchise records for doubles and extra-base hits at Triple-A St. Paul this season.
Aaron Sabato, a former Connecticut high school baseball star, has made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut with the Minnesota Twins. Despite an 8-0 victory over the Angels on Sunday, the Twins were eliminated from playoff contention. Sabato, who stands 6-foot-230 pounds, was called up from Triple-A to start at first base in Minnesota's series opener against the San Francisco Giants.
The 6-foot, 230-pound infielder had a standout season in the minor leagues, setting a Triple-A single-season franchise record with 29 doubles and 55 extra-base hits for the St. Paul Saints. Sabato, who grew up in Rye, N.Y., but attended the Brunswick School in Greenwich, Connecticut, previously attended North Carolina before being drafted by Minnesota in the 2020 MLB Draft.
He has since played in the lower rungs of Minnesota's farm system from 2021 to 2024 before having a breakout 2026 season with the Triple-A St. Paul.
