Shortstop Willy Adames earned Brewers Most Valuable Player honors for the second straight season as he led the team in RBI (98), doubles (31) total bases (258) and extra-base hits (62). His 31 HR as a shortstop tied the Rangers’ Corey Seager for the Major League lead and were the most in franchise history from the position in a single season, passing Robin Yount (29 in 1982).
Outfielder Hunter Renfroe was named Brewers Top Newcomer, batting .255 with 29 HR and 72 RBI in 125 games. He produced 25+ HR for the fifth time in his career. His 11 outfield assists ranked fourth in the Major Leagues. Renfroe was acquired from Boston on Dec. 1 in exchange for outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. and infielders David Hamilton and Alex Binelas.
Left-handed reliever Hoby Milner was named Brewers Unsung Hero. Milner went 3-3 with a 3.76 ERA in a career-high 67 relief appearances (T8th in NL). He stranded 32 of 37 inherited runners (86.5%), the fifth-best percentage in the Major Leagues (minimum 20 inherited runners).
Pitcher Brandon Woodruff received the Good Guy Award for the second straight season, which is presented to the player who has the most outgoing, friendly presence in the clubhouse and interacts well with the media on a daily basis in a cooperative and pleasant manner.
