Twins name 2024 first-round pick, lefty pitcher as Minor League Players of the Year

While Baseball America named Walker Jenkins as the Twins' Minor League Player of the Year, Minnesota went a different direction in deciding who deserves the honor, naming shortstop Kaelen Culpepper and left-handed pitcher Connor Prielipp as the team's Minor League Players of the Year.

The #MNTwins announced that INF Kaelen Culpepper has been named the 2025 Sherry Robertson Award winner as the Twins minor league Player of the Year & LHP Connor Prielipp has been named the 2025 Jim Rantz Award winner as the Twins minor league Pitcher of the Year.
