Former Wind Surge infielder called up to Major Leagues

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A former Wichita Wind Surge third baseman made his MLB debut with the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

Brooks Lee became the 30th former Wind Surge player to reach the big leagues. The Twins lost to the Detroit Tigers, 9-2, but Lee had two hits in four at-bats and drove in one of those two runs.

Lee was the eighth overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Cal Poly and made his debut in Wichita in the final two games of the Wind Surge’s 2022 season.

Lee stayed at the Double-A level for most of last season and slashed .292/.365/.476 with 11 home runs and 61 RBIs in 87 games before moving up to Triple-A St. Paul in August. He was later named a 2023 Twins MiLB.com Organizational All-Star for his efforts.

The San Luis Obispo, California, native was selected as a participant in the 2024 MLB All-Star Futures Game, which will be played on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
