MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers today announced their postseason award winners as voted by members of the Milwaukee Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA). A total of six ballots were cast for each award.
First baseman Prince Fielder was unanimously voted Brewers Most Valuable Player after batting .299 with 46 HR and a franchise-record 141 RBI in 162 games. This marks the second time that Fielder has won the award (also 2007).

The National League Most Valuable Player candidate ranked among the league leaders in nearly every offensive category, including RBI (T1st, 141), home runs (2nd, 46), OPS (2nd, 1.014), slugging percentage (2nd, .602), total bases (2nd, 356), extra-base hits (3rd, 84), walks (4th, 110), on-base percentage (5th, .412), multi-hit games (5th, 54) and runs (6th, 103).

Yovani Gallardo received four first-place votes to be named Brewers Most Valuable Pitcher. Trevor Hoffman received the other two first-place votes. Gallardo, in his first full season in the majors, went 13-12 with a 3.73 ERA in 30 starts. He became just the fifth pitcher in franchise history to have 200 strikeouts in a season. His 204 strikeouts ranked fifth in the National League while his .219 opponents' batting average ranked third.

Trevor Hoffman earned five first-place votes to earn Top Newcomer honors. Infielder Casey McGehee received the remaining first-place vote. Hoffman went 3-2 with a 1.83 ERA and 37 saves in 55 appearances this season. He extended his all-time Major League saves record to 591 as he ranked fifth in the National League in that category in 2009.

Reliever Todd Coffey was voted Brewers Unsung Hero, receiving three first-place votes. Infielder Craig Counsell (2) and McGehee (1) also earned first-place votes. Coffey went 4-4 with a 2.90 ERA in 78 games. He led the National League with a career-high 83.2 relief innings while his 78 appearances tied for seventh in the league and ranked third in franchise history behind Ken Sanders (83 in 1971) and Ray King (82 in 2001).

Craig Counsell earned the Good Guy Award for the second consecutive season. His four first-place votes edged outfielder Mike Cameron for the honor.

In addition to the awards voted on by the BBWAA, the Brewers announced Mike Cameron as the winner of the Michael Harrison Award for Community Service. Among his charitable contributions was $20,000 to "Team Smile," which allowed 298 children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee to receive free dental care. Cameron also hosted and contributed $13,400 for a Bowl-A-Thon event which gave 17 Milwaukee-area youths the opportunity to attend recording artist Usher's Camp New Look in Atlanta.
