The Chicago Cubs announced their choices for the Buck O’Neil Cubs Minor League Player of the Year and the Vedie Himsl Minor League Pitcher of the Year. To no one’s surprise, outfielder Brennen Davis won the Player of the Year Award and left-hander DJ Herz was named the Pitcher of the Year.
The 21-year-old Davis, the Cubs’ second-round pick in the 2018 Draft, played 99 games at three different levels this season: High-A South Bend, Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa. Between the three levels, Davis hit .268 with a .375 on-base percentage and a .494 slugging percentage.
