The La Romana, Dominican Republic native won the award with 6 saves in 20 relief appearances, 29 strikeouts in 24 innings and a record of 3-1 to go with his 0.38 ERA.
He received 11 first place votes out of a possible 12. Marko Tapaninen of the MSL Santa Catalina Condor finished second in voting, while Pedro Ramírez of the MSL Las Vegas Flamingos finished third with 1 first place vote.
