The annual awards are dedicated to Kevin O'Brien Lawn-the son of longtime Yankees Vice President and Chief of Operations Jack Lawn-who passed away in 1999. Andújar, 23, hit .315/.352/.498 (151-for-480) with 66R, 36 doubles, 2 triples, 16HR and 82RBI in 125 games between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The third baseman led all Yankees farmhands in batting average and doubles (36), ranked third in RBI and was named an MiLB.com Organizational All-Star. The Dominican Republic native made his Major League debut on June 28, 2017, against the White Sox in Chicago, going 3-for-4 with 1 double, 4RBI, 1BB and 1SB in a start at designated hitter and setting a Yankees record for RBI in a Major League debut. Following the season, Andújar was tabbed by Baseball America as the Yankees' No. 5 prospect and the No. 59 overall prospect in the sport. Acevedo, 24, combined to go 6-6 with a 3.25 ERA (133.0IP, 126H, 58R/48ER, 34BB, 142K) in 23 starts with Single-A Tampa, Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2017. The Dominican Republic native spent a majority of the season at Trenton, going 5-1 with a 2.38 ERA (79.1IP, 21ER) in 14 starts. The 6-foot-7 right-hander finished second among Yankees minor leaguers in strikeouts and was seventh in ERA, and pitched in the 2017 MLB All-Star Futures Game in Miami in July. Following the season, Acevedo was named the No. 10 prospect in the Yankees by Baseball America and was added to the 40-man roster on November 20, 2017. Each player was presented with a trophy designed by C&C Awards, as well as a designer watch, courtesy of Betteridge Jewelers.
