His winning campaign featured a .300 batting average and a .343 on-base percentage this year. In 134 games he piled up 147 hits, 23 doubles, 4 triples, 26 home runs, 88 RBIs and 74 runs scored. He received 14 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Jonathan Allen of the Gwinnett Braves finished second in voting, while Ryan Carey of the Syracuse Chiefs finished third.
