Gonzalez Selected SL2's Best Player Saturday, June 9th , 2012 He may have less experience than most of his ABA Junior College peers, but that didn't slow Juan Gonzalez down at all in 2012.

In 48 games he piled up 95 hits, 17 doubles, no triples, 20 home runs, 69 RBIs and 55 runs scored. "I'm blown away by the season I was able to put together," he said. "I'm looking forward to trying to do it all again next year." He received 24 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Ryan Griffitt of the Eastern Oklahoma State College Mountaineers finished second in voting, while Paul Pittman of the Navarro College Bulldogs finished third.
