Sherman Johnson stayed hot after winning this award just two weeks ago. This time, the second baseman out of Florida State slashed .469/.541/1.031 with five longballs and nine RBIs. He was a huge part of the 66ers’ surge to the second-half title. Over the last 10 games of the season, Johnson batted .405 and scored 12 runs as Inland Empire made the playoffs.

Matt Flemer threw a four-hit shutout against Stockton to post his 13th win, second most in the Cal League. The right-hander from Cal stuck out nine and didn’t walk anybody in the season finale. It was a rough year for Modesto in the standings, but Flemer provided consistency over his 165 innings pitched. In each of his last four outings he went at least seven innings, walking just two and striking out 30 while going 3-1.
