Cade Marlowe was named the team MVP. He had a 20/20 season. Marlowe got hot in September and got called up to Tacoma. He is Rule-5 eligible this offseason and seems like a lock to get selected if left unprotected.

Jake Scheiner finished the season on a high note. Joe Rizzo is another Rule-5 eligible player. He played 10 games at first this season and has a more extensive history at both first and second.
