Frank Schwindel did it again.
A second straight outstanding season at the Royals’ top minor-league affiliate earned Schwindel the Royals’ Class AAA Omaha Player of the Year award for the second year in a row. The Royals announced their Minor League Players and Pitchers of the Year for all of their affiliates Wednesday.
The players will be honored in an on-field presentation prior to Friday’s Royals-Indians at Kauffman Stadium. They will take part in a pregame autograph session at 5:30 p.m. inside Gate A
Schwindel, a 26-year-old first baseman, set a franchise record with 38 doubles, which was second in the Pacific Coast League.
