Orioles name Cedric Mullins minor league player of the year; Akin, Lowther split pitching honors

Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins, who last month became the first highly-touted prospect to debut after the club’s July teardown heralded their rebuild, was named Friday as the organization’s Brooks Robinson Minor League Player of the Year.

Mullins will be honored during an on-field ceremony Saturday at Camden Yards alongside left-handers Keegan Akin and Zac Lowther, the co-winners of the Jim Palmer Minor League Pitcher of the Year; Outfielder Zach Jarrett, winner of the Elrod Hendicks Minor League Community Service award; Norfolk manager Ron Johnson, winner of the Cal Ripken Sr. Player Development award; and scout Rich Morales, who was named the Jim Russo Scout of the Year.
