Dodger Prospect Wins AFL Award

Russ Mitchell has won the Dernell Stenson Sportsmanship Award, awarded to the Arizona Fall League player who "exemplifies leadership, unselfishness and hard work".

Mitchell, 24, was selected by the Dodgers in the 15th round of the 2003 draft (451st overall). He has primarily played third base in his 7-year minor league career, but has also played first base, second base, and shortstop. He has never played above AA.

Congrats to Mitchell.
