Angels' Mike Trout: Wins AL MVP award

Trout was named the American League MVP on Thursday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Analysis:

There was some speculation that Trout might narrowly miss out on yet another MVP award, but in the end, the AL's best player received his proper recognition. Mookie Betts and Jose Altuve came in second and third in the voting, respectively. Trout hit .315/.441/.550 with 29 homers, 100 RBI, 123 runs scored and 30 steals, and figures to be the consensus top pick in drafts next spring.
