Minnesota Twins minor league pitcher Yorman Landa, 22, died in an auto accident early Saturday morning, according to the team.
Landa was signed in 2010 at age 16 and was on the 40-man roster but was dropped after the season. He was signed to a minor league contract last week.
"The Minnesota Twins are deeply saddened by the heartbreaking loss of Yorman Landa early this morning in Venezuela," said Executive Vice President/Chief Baseball Operator Derek Falvey in a statement. "On behalf of the entire baseball community, we send our sincerest condolences to the Landa family as well as Yorman’s many friends, coaches and teammates."
