Astros Name Minor Leaguers of the Year

Astros recently named their minor league players of the year and the Astros only had one position player to choose from. Not because only one minor leaguer had a good year but more because only one minor leaguer had an EPIC year. The Astors had soooo many more options at pitcher, lots of pitchers in the system had plenty of really good years. Below are the players chosen by the team.

George Springer Player of the year

Springer had one of the greatest seasons in minor league history, Springer between Double A and Triple A finished 3 homeruns short of 40 homeruns and 40 stolenbases. Springer finished among the league leaders in lots of different categories. Springer finished with a .303 avg, 37 HR, 108 RBI, 45 SB, and a 1.010 OPS. Springer also was a player of the week at the Double A and Triple A level.

David Martinez Pitcher of the Year

Martinez like Springer was one of the Astros better pitchers on the farm and even spent a little bit of time in the majors. Martinez finished with 14 wins and 2 losses and a 2.57 ERA between Triple A and Double A and tossed 11.1 innings in the majors. While Martinez was a more dominate pitcher in Double A he still showed promise for the seasons going forward.
