I had completely forgotten about this kid until I started thinking back to last years football commits.
Was wondering if any of you guys knew how he did in his first year with the twins organization?

#4 Kohl Stewart | 60/R (P) Age G GS IP H HR K/9 BB/9 ERA FIP 18 7 4 20.0 13 0 10.80 1.80 1.35 1.70 The Year in Review: The fourth overall selection in the 2013 draft, Stewart looked like a stud in his brief debut. The right-hander rolled through the rookie Gulf Coast League and earned a late-season promotion to the advanced-rookie Appalachian League. In total, he allowed just 13 hits and four walks while whiffing 24 in 20 innings of work. The Scouting Report: The first two things that stand out with this Texas native are his athleticism and competitive nature. It helps him repeat his pitching mechanics and it also allows him to serve as an extra quality fielder. His repertoire includes a low-to-mid-90s fastball with excellent movement (although he needs to sharpen his command of the offering), potentially-plus slider, curveball and changeup. He’s learning to consistently get on top of the ball and create a good downward plane to work consistently in the lower half of the zone. The Year Ahead: Stewart should open the 2014 season in full-season ball even though he just turn 19 in October. The organization is usually fairly reserved with its young arms so expect him to spend the entire year in the Midwest League. He’ll likely reach the Majors sometime in 2016. The Career Outlook: Stewart has just 20 innings of professional experience but his athleticism and makeup should help him squeeze every ounce out of his impressive tools, which could eventually help him develop into a No. 1 or 2 starter. He could easily be among the 15 or 20 best prospects in baseball by this time next year.

From the Link:
1.35 ERA
.169 BAA
0.85 WHIP (Very Impressive)
1.2 K/IP (24 K's in 20 IP) - Also very good
20 IP is not a huge sample size, but as a rookie, that's to be expected. Nonetheless, those are some very impressive stats. I'd say his first year was definitely a success

One thing that will be interesting to see is how the Twins use Kohl down the road. Kohl currently has a pretty high strikeout rate, which is absolutely never a bad thing. But sometimes you would like to see a starter (which is how Kohl projects currently) to eat up innings and save your bullpen. High strikeouts usually, but not always, leads to higher pitch counts, and therefore fewer innings.
That being said, if his strikeout rate continues to be high, he could become a pretty dominant closer as well. Should be interesting to see how he develops and what the Twins decided to do with him.
