Spivey batted .316 and drew 22 walks while striking out just 13 times in 174 turns at bat. Fields logged a .372 batting average in just more than 30 games played while knocking in 14 runs. With a 4-1 overall record and a 1.22 ERA, Murillo was named to the first team as a relief pitcher. The right-hander appeared in 22 games and struck out 44 batters against just 10 walks in 29 1⁄3 innings.

Servais drove in 28 runs and had a .976 fielding percentage with 187 putouts, the latter ranking second in the WCL. Dixon led the league with 37 RBIs while batting .311.
