It has been evident that succeeding at the Major League level isn’t the only measure of success the Los Angeles Dodgers ownership and front office values. The franchise has focused on a philosophy of sustained long-term success, which translates to establishing a strong foundation throughout the Minors.

Just as the Major League coaching staff underwent significant changes during the offseason, so too did the staffs of the Dodgers’ Minor League affiliates. However, prior to that taking place, High-A Rancho Cucamonga played their way to a championship season.

The Quakes were crowned the 2015 California League championship after a shutout win against the San Jose Giants to complete a three-game sweep. The win was the Quakes’ first Cal League title since 1994.

In the clinching game, Cody Bellinger, currently among those impressing during Spring Training, went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored, earning him series MVP honors.

Bellinger’s stellar season included a mid-season All-Star appearance, postseason Cal League All-Star nomination, and a ranking as a top-10 Minor League first baseman.

On Friday, the Quakes received their championship rings during a ceremony on the Dodgers’ Minor League side at Camelback Ranch. Some highlights were posted on the Quakes’ official Facebook account:
