The Minnesota Twins say catcher Mitch Garver is the team’s minor league player of the year.
Garver won the 2017 Sherry Robertson Award while right-hander Aaron Slegers won the 2017 Jim Rantz Award as the Twins minor league pitcher of the year.
Garver split the season between Triple-A Rochester and Minnesota. He hit a combined .279 with 30 doubles, 17 home runs and 48 RBIs in 111 games. Slegers spent nearly the entire season with Rochester, going 15-4 with a 3.40 ERA.
