His winning campaign featured a .372 batting average and a .502 on-base percentage this year. In 131 games he piled up 197 hits, 41 doubles, 9 triples, 18 home runs, 122 RBIs and 145 runs scored.
He received 6 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Lolo Sanchez of the Vancouver Canadians finished second in voting, while Noah Campbell of the Vancouver Canadians finished third.
