The Sweets placed 6 players on the WCL East All-Star team. All of these players earned All-WCL honors as well.

• C Elliot Stewart
• 2B/SS Alex Stanford
• OF Andrew Mendenhall
• P Ryan Richardson
• P Tim Culligan
• P Brett Watson  (Third in the league with a 1.62 ERA)

Stewart, who spent two seasons with the team, enjoyed every part of the 2011 season.

“Walla Walla was an awesome experience all around,” Stewart said. “We were a hard working and talented group on the field, my host family was excellent and I enjoyed the city of Walla Walla as well. It was great to be the first team to get to the playoffs and to win that first series.”

The Sweets led the league in attendance once again in 2011, drawing over 54,000 fans to rank in the top-20 nationally. Stanford set the single-season record in the WCL for most hits with 66, while Richardson led the league in ERA at 1.53 in 53 innings.

The Sweets off-field traditions brought just as much life to the ballpark as their play on it. In the eighth inning, the club would play “Love is Gone” by David Guetta over the sound system.  Players would then emerge from the dugout and begin dancing, which brought the crowd to its feet every home game.  This tradition seemed to give the team a boost as well, as they had the most come-from-behind victories after the seventh inning of any team in the league.

Broadcaster Tristan Hobbes also became a fan favorite in Walla Walla for some of his signature calls. For victories, Hobbes would close the game with the expression “The Sweets Win! How Sweet it is!“, while another common call was “Simon Says…Game Over!” call as closer Simon Anderson would wrap up a save.

• Denver Chavez played one season of minor league baseball in the Arizona Diamondbacks farm system.
• Eric Yardley, a reliever for the Milwaukee Brewers, made his postseason debut in the wildcard round against the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers this past MLB season. The 30-year-old right-hander held his own against the best squad in baseball, facing seven batters and striking out two while pitching 2 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball. Yardley, a Seattle native, has enjoyed a successful start in his first two seasons in the big leagues. After posting 2.31 ERA in his rookie season with San Diego in 2019, Yardley took on a more prominent role in the Milwaukee bullpen and rose to the occasion. In 24 games this past season, he posted a 1.54 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings.
