Our Twins RBI Alumni Spotlight highlights RBI Baseball or Softball All-Star players who exemplify the standard of excellence that the Twins RBI program upholds. As ballplayers, these All-Stars played critical roles on their respective teams, and later became smart, kind, mature and responsible adults whom we are proud of.
Their eloquence and skill in their craft on the field is noteworthy, but even more importantly, their zeal for life and pursuit of excellence is inspiring.
Onas played on the RBI All-Star team in 2010, 2011 and 2012. He attended Ridgewater Community College in Wilmar, MN, until he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2014. Farfan is currently a relief pitcher in the Pioneer League playing for the Rocky Mountain Vibes in Colorado.
Rebekah played at King Park in Minneapolis and was also selected to play on the Girls Fastpitch RBI All-Star team in 2010, 2011 and 2012. As a graduate of the University of Minnesota ¨C Twin Cities, she spent time in college gaining professional experience with the Timberwolves. After graduation she spent two years in ministry in the Dominican Republic, while simultaneously working as an educator and youth sports coach. Rebekah currently serves as a teacher.
Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, Mariah was selected on five RBI All-Star Girls Fastpitch teams: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Additionally, it¡¯s worth noting that her essay won the Jackie Robinson Essay Contest at the 2009 RBI World Series. As an All-Star, Mariah played in four World Series for the Twins Girls Fastpitch All-Star teams. She attended Concordia University in St. Paul, MN, and finished her degree at Minneapolis Community & Technology College.
The Minnesota Twins RBI program has a robust history of providing year-round opportunities to enhance ballplayers¡¯ skills; most notably is the RBI All-Star Series.
Each season, the Twins RBI staff utilize a series of tryouts in order to select their All-Star team players. Ultimately, three teams will be formed: Senior Boys Baseball (ages 16-18), Junior Boys Baseball (ages 13-15) and Senior Girls Fastpitch Softball (ages 16-18).
Our program¡¯s history of teams is below.
