The Twins’ No. 1 prospect was named the league’s MVP and finished among the league leaders in several offensive categories.
“It’s pretty special,” Lewis said prior to Saturday’s championship game. “I’m just glad my family and friends are able to come out today and celebrate with me.”
For his efforts, Lewis was presented with the Joe Black Most Valuable Player Award. The award was first presented in 2002 and is in honor of Black who was a lesser-known Dodger in the early 1950’s.
No Dodger prospect has ever won the prestigious AZL award since its inception in 2002.
