Decker, 22, was drafted in June 2009 in the 22nd round out of UCLA. He hit .354 with a league-best 15 home runs and 63 RBIs in the Arizona League. Decker led the league in doubles, extra-base hits and slugging percentage. He also held the league's best fielding percentage for a first baseman. A late-August promotion brought him to Fort Wayne to finish the season.

Fort Wayne was connected to MiLBY Awards in three of the five categories awarded; the TinCaps were the overall Team of the Year and RHP Brad Brach received Class-A Reliever of the Year honors.
