Wil Myers of the Kansas City Royals was named the Minor League Player Of The Year today by Baseball America. A quick glance at the 21-year-old’s numbers over 591 plate appearances at Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha, and the news should come as no surprise.
Myers bashed 37 home runs, slugged .600 and got on base in almost 39% of his plate appearances across both levels. He will most likely be listed atop the majority of the prospect ranking lists that come out ahead of the 2013 season, and no, your favorite team will not be able to acquire him for your three least favorite bats off the bench.
