Twins name

season MVPs

Mikkelson was second at the plate with a .365 average, and went 4-2 as a pitcher. He posted a very respectable 4.02 ERA on the mound, and played shortstop when he wasn't pitching.

"Both these guys did a great job this year, especially at the plate. Matt was our strongest hitter, and Ty did almost as well while also turning in a great season as a pitcher," said Twins head coach Jack Helber.
