The Seattle Mariners have recently announced their Minor League Player of the Year Award recipients for the 2019 season. This award is given to the players who have shown outstanding performance and dedication to the organization throughout the season. This year, the Mariners have selected two players to receive this prestigious award.
The first recipient of the award is outfielder Braden Bishop. Bishop, who was drafted by the Mariners in 2015, has had a remarkable season with the organization. He has been a consistent presence in the lineup, batting .301 with five home runs and 30 RBIs in 95 games. His defensive play has been just as impressive, as he has recorded 10 outfield assists and a .992 fielding percentage.
The second recipient of the award is pitcher Justus Sheffield. Sheffield, who was acquired by the Mariners in a trade with the New York Yankees in 2018, has been a key contributor to the team’s pitching staff this season. He has posted a 3.82 ERA in 22 starts, striking out 109 batters in 117 innings pitched. His performance has been especially impressive considering he is only 22 years old.
The Mariners are proud to recognize these two players for their hard work and dedication to the organization. Both Bishop and Sheffield have shown tremendous growth and improvement this season, and they are well deserving of this award. The Mariners hope that their success will continue in the future and that they will become key contributors to the team’s success.
