Batting Champion – Washington LF Edite Filgueiras (.355) held off a strong challenge from Philadelphia catcher Sancho Guerra (.349) to win the EL batting title. In the west Sanfrancisco 2B Jose Villalobos became only the second man to hit .400 for a season, finishing with a .401 mark, well ahead of second place man, Phoenix 1B Domingo Vargas (.368)
Homerun Champion – Atlanta RF Mike Robinson (47) took the EL award ahead of New Orleans LF Jim Hopkins (44), in the west Phoenix RF Adrian Ramirez (44) used a strong September (12 homeruns) to take the title ahead of nearest rival, Kansas City’s Glenn McGhee (40)
Outstanding Hitter – The race for the EL award was a close one with Atlanta RF Mike Robinson (.294, 47 HR, 103 RBI) surprisingly coming out on top, some in the press felt that either of Boston’s LF Rob Penney (.327, 38 HR, 112 RBI) or Charlotte 3B Luis Garza (.320, 40 HR, 123 RBI) would have been more worthy of the award. The race in the west was just as closely contested with Phoenix SS Brandon Buck (.363, 20, 106 RBI) eventually winning the vote, ahead of teammate 1B Domingo Vargas (.368, 28 HR, 100 RBI) and Sanfrancisco 2B Jose Villalobos (.401 avg).
Outstanding Pitcher – The EL award went to 24-year-old New Orleans hurler Carlos Rodriguez (20-8, 2.80 ERA) while in the west OKC’s Rafer MacNeil (20-4, 2.20 ERA) picked up his fourth pitcher of the year award.
Rookie of the Year – There was only going to be one winner in the east, Baltimore’s CF Cesar Amaya (.324, 29 HR, 102 RBI) while the WL award went to LA’s star international pickup, closer Gwang-Sam Pak (6-8, 40Sv, 2.62 ERA).
Manager of the Year – The unanimous winner in the voting for the EL award was Chicago’s Jeffrey Orr while OKC skipper Steffen Hurtado pipped Las Vegas manager Gomes Solano to the Western league award.
Glove Wizards EL – P – Mike Mayfield (BOS) C - Michel Bertin (BAL) 1B – Jorge Rodriguez (DET) 2B – Benny Graham (STL) 3B – Marc Stephens (DET) SS – Jose Ramos (MIA) LF – Mike Hicks (ATL) CF – Greg McCabe (PHI) RF – Mike Robinson (ATL)
Glove Wizards WL – P – Kevin Wilson (DEN) C – Andrew Lewis (LA) 1B – Jaime Perez (SD) 2B – Jackie Young (AUS) 3B – Tom Sterling (SJ) SS – Dave Richardson (MIN) LF – Juan Rodriguez (DAL) CF – Colton Miller (AUS) RF – Danny Wheeler (LV)
Interesting Facts – OKC 3B Xavier Cisneros became the third player to draw 100+ walks while striking out over 200 times in a season, joining Marshall Ayersome and Nelson Vasquez (four times) in the exclusive club.
