It was the 4th time to win a Silver Slugger award for 4 SJL hitters: catcher Lupe Ramirez, probably the best power hitter at his position in the game, second baseman Xiao-mei Mah, winning his 4th in as many WPK seasons since coming over to the league from Taiwan, shortstop Bud Lindsay, and right fielder Bill Winchester.
All others on the list are there for the first time.

And the Brewers finally get on the award board, with first baseman Brett Taranto claiming his 2nd Silver Slugger award.
L.A.'s future Hall of Fame third baseman Jesus Hernandez wins the 5th of his career.
All others in the MGL are first time winners, though some (see Mustard, Robert) almost surely will earn more in the future.
