Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN—The Minnesota Twins announced today that outfielder
Trevor Larnach has been named the 2019 Sherry Robertson Award winner as the
Twins Minor League Player of the Year and right-handed pitcher Randy Dobnak
has been named the 2019 Jim Rantz Award winner as the Twins Minor League
Pitcher of the Year.
Larnach, 22, split the season between Single-A Ft. Myers and Double-A
Pensacola, combining to hit .309 (147-for-476) with 30 doubles, one triple,
13 home runs, 66 RBI and an .842 OPS in 127 games. The 6-foot-4, 223-pound
outfielder was named Florida State League Most Valuable Player and named to
both Florida State League midseason and postseason All-Star teams. He was FSL
Player of the Week in early June and MiLB.com FSL Player of the Month in May.
Prior to the season he was ranked as the fifth-best prospect in the Twins
system by both Baseball America and MLB.com.
The Walnut Creek, California native was selected by the Twins in the first
round (20th overall) of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft out of Oregon State
University. In 169 career games in the Twins minor league system, he has hit
.307 (193-for-628) with 43 doubles, two triples, 18 home runs, 92 RBI, 86
runs scored, 78 walks and an .853 OPS.
Dobnak, 24, split the 2019 season between Single-A Ft. Myers, Double-A
Pensacola, Triple-A Rochester and Minnesota. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound pitcher
went 12-4 with a 2.07 ERA (135.0 IP, 31 ER), 28 walks, 109 strikeouts, a 0.98
WHIP and a .212 opponent batting average in 24 games (21 starts) at three
levels of the Twins minor league system this season. He was named
International League Pitcher of the Week in late July. Dobnak had his
contract selected by Minnesota in mid-August and has since posted a record of
2-1 with a 1.59 ERA (28.1 IP, 5 ER), five walks and 23 strikeouts in nine
games (5 starts).
The South Park, Pennsylvania native was signed by the Twins as an undrafted
free agent in July of 2017 and has gone 24-9 with a 2.57 ERA (297.1 IP, 85
ER), 60 walks and 216 strikeouts in 54 games (45 starts) through parts of
three seasons in the Twins minor league system.
The Sherry Robertson Award, named in honor of the Twins’ first farm
director, was established in 1970 to recognize the top Twins minor league
performer each season. Since 2002, the award has recognized the Twins Minor
League Player of the Year while an additional award has been created to
