Minor League Baseball’s weekly award winners feature some dominant pitching and heavy hitting from the previous week down on the farm.

From the International League all the way down to the South Atlantic League, there were performances in the minors worthy of attention. Luckily each league throughout the minors names their own players of the week, both on the hill and in the box.

Here we will take at look at each of the award winners and give some insight into their weeks and years to date. There are also some interesting tidbits about what could be on the horizon for certain prospects, former teammates in college that were both named Players of the Week, and a remarkable story of one Twins’ starter’s performance in his first game back from Tommy John surgery.

We’ll start off with the International and Pacific Coast Leagues, since they encompass the highest levels of Minor League baseball, and work our way down from there.

There are a number of different Major League teams that are represented on this list, so be on the lookout for some of your favorite teams and learn a little about the players that are on their way to the big leagues.
