Dylan Questad, Min (A) 4/8/25 (Complete Full-Season Debut — Condensed)

Ques­tad was a per­son­al favorite of the 2023 prep class. Per­fect Game ranked him 41st (and climb­ing) in the class over­all. Strik­ing out six in two innings at the nation­al event bumped his stock. Not that I saw a lot, but I did see a glimpse of an advanced fastball/slider, east/west attack. Back then, Ques­tad’s abil­i­ty to land the slid­er impressed most. His oper­a­tion’s ease, paired with con­sis­tent rep­e­ti­tion, advanced feel for sec­on­daries, and poten­tial as a high pitch­a­bil­i­ty-type, feels like a very Twins play. Bet on the pitch­er; sharp­en tools lat­er. It was excit­ing to see Ques­tad offer­ing up sev­er­al pitch­es and mix­ing up the sequenc­ing as he did. Such “pitch­ing” isn’t typ­i­cal from arms this age in A‑ball. It’s prob­a­bly fair to won­der how good the indi­vid­ual offer­ings are in a vac­u­um at this junc­ture, but the Twins have had as much, if not more, suc­cess help­ing these types sharp­en tools than any­one. Who had Zeb­by Matthews revving it up to 98? That being said, it would­n’t shock me if parts of the arse­nal impressed on spread­sheets, either. Ques­tad appears to enjoy the weight room, look­ing well built for a 20-year-old. At 6′1″, he isn’t the tallest pitch­er out there, but he has enough size.

I had been look­ing for­ward to this debut, and it checked all the box­es I had hoped it would, maybe even more so. Look­ing for­ward to the rest of his sea­son and get­ting him on a nice Braden­ton angle to bet­ter see what he’s work­ing with. If Ques­tad keeps putting up lines like this, he might start get­ting more atten­tion from dynasty own­ers, but my incli­na­tion is that the per­ceived qual­i­ty of his “stuff” will keep inter­est min­i­mal. In the long view of things, call me more than inter­est­ed, hope­ful, and con­fi­dent Ques­tad’s got it in him to put up gaudy plen­ty more guady lines in the low­ers. I don’t have to squint too hard to see this turn­ing into my type of com­mit­ted dynasty play. To good health!

Note: Decent lit­tle tri­an­gle of loca­tions with three dif­fer­ent speeds dur­ing the three-pitch strike­out vs Parks Har­ber (sec­ond to last K, 5th inning.)
