Mike Trout, 21, Los Angeles Angels
Forget the Rookie Of The Year, last year Mike Trout could have conceivably took home the American League Most Valuable Player award as a rookie. This 20-year-old kid is exactly what the movie, The Natural, was made for. Trout became the first player in MLB history to hit 30 homers, steal 45 bases and score 125 runs in one season. Not rookie, player. Trout finished second in the AL MVP voting, with six of twenty-eight first place votes, behind Miguel Cabrera, who won the award after becoming the first player since 1967 to win the Triple Crown.
