Notes :
Both of this season’s Paul Owens Award are now on the active major league roster - that’s happened five times before, where both of the award winners ended the season they won the awards in the big leagues - 1996 (Rolen & Beech), 1998 (Anderson & Loewer), 2008 (Marson & Happ), 2010 (Brown & Mathieson) and 2012 (Ruf & Cloyd).
Orion Kerkering has become the first Phillies player to play at all four full season minor league levels and then be added to the major league roster in the same season since the four level full season minor league distinction was made in 1990.
Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
