Several Former St. Cloud Rox Players Rake In 2025 Minor League Awards

Several former St. Cloud Rox players were given postseason honors following their 2025 minor league seasons. From pitchers to sluggers, there was no shortage of recognition for players who used to call Joe Faber Field home.

RILEY CORNELIO - 2021 

2021 Rox standout right-handed pitcher Riley Cornelio began his 2025 campaign at the High-A level of the minor leagues but ascended all the way up the ladder to Triple-A Rochester in the Washington Nationals organization. His excellent season resulted in his winning the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year award.

OTTO KEMP - 2021 

Cornelio's 2021 Rox teammate Otto Kemp also had a standout season. Kemp played for Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies' organization and hit .310 with 16 home runs and 76 runs batted in. In fact, Kemp led all of the International League in home runs, RBI, total bases, runs, extra-base hits, slugging percentage and OPS. Kemp was named the Phillies' Minor League Player of the Year. 

BOB SEYMOUR - 2018 

Bob Seymour played for the Rox in 2018 (and also had a stint with Rockford in 2020) and is currently in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. Seymour smacked 30 home runs and drove in 87 runs on his way to being named the Tampa Bay Rays' Minor League Player of the Year.
