Add Another Award To Mike Trouts Trophy Case

 

Mike Trout wins two 2012 GIBBYS Awards for Rookie of the Year and Play of The Year.

 

The play of the year was the famous home run that was robbed by Mike Trout of the bat of JJ Hardy on June 27 at Oriole Park.

Mike Trout Is ROY

 

Just Announced today Mike Trout was officially awarded Rookie of The Year along with Bryce Harper.

 

Watching Mike Trout this year I was really impressed with his ability. He was the major factor for the Angels success this pass year. He put up some ridicules number this year some of the best ever for a rookie if no the best. I am very excited to watch him grow as a Angel.

 

 

He ranked third in the AL in on-base percentage (.399), third in slugging (.564) and second in OPS (.963). He led the Majors in runs scored (129) and steals (49), getting caught just five times for a 90.7 success rate.

Trout was the first player in history to combine a .320-plus average with 30 or more homers and 45 or more steals. He's also the first to score at least 125 runs with 30 or more homers and 45 or more steals.

 

The sky is the limits with Mike Trout. Can't wait to see what he could do in a full season in the bigs.


Mike Trout Wins His First Silver Slugger Award

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)
