Silver Slugger announced on Thursday.
Mike Trout won his first silver slugger award but that is not all for Trout because he is a finalist for the ROY and MVP. Which I think he has a very good shot at both, he would have won a gold glove if he would have meet the required amount of games played. However, I think the ROY is in the bag the MVP could go either way between him and Cabrera.
Trout became the first rookie position player to win one since Ichiro Suzuki in 2001. He did so by leading all AL outfielders in batting average (.326), on-base percentage (.399) and OPS (.963) while finishing first in the Majors in stolen bases (49) and runs scored (129). The 21-year-old smacked 30 home runs and 27 doubles while driving in 83 runs. (MLB)
