Hermsen named Twins minor league pitcher of year
Sep. 23, 2012 8:16 pm
Former West Delaware prep B.J. Hermsen has been named the minor league pitcher of the year in the Minnesota Twins organization, the Twins have announced.
Hermsen, 22, went 12-6 and had a 2.88 earned run average in 162 2/3 innings at high-Class A Fort Myers and Double-A New Britain this season. He was a sixth-round pick of the Twins in 2008.
Hermsen is sure to be added to the Twins' 40-man major league roster next season, which will give him a good chance of making his big-league debut if he pitches well in Triple-A.
