MVP In the MLB there are uncountable magnificent players. Each year the MLB picks one person from each League that they think stuck out the most and that person is labeled the MVP or Most Valuable Player of that League (National League and American League). The MVP is also determined through fan feedback as well as coach nominations. Honorable Mentions Corey Kluber is a righty pitcher who broke out with 18 wins, a 2.44 ERA and 269 strike outs becoming the Tribes (Indians) first CY Young winner since 2008. (Hailey) Another honorable mention would be Clayton Kershaw who was the first National League pitcher since Bob Gibson in 1968 to win the Cy Young and MVP in the same season, (MVP for National League). Also The Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw was a unanimous winner after going 21-3 with a career-best 1.77 ERA. Kershaw was awarded the MVP award for the National League. (Mortson) American League MVP The man who was awarded 2014 American League MVP was non other than Mike Trout. It was special because, Mike Trout claimed his first MVP Award in unanimous fashion after finishing second to Miguel Cabrera each of the past two seasons. This is very interesting/impressive because this is only Mike Trout’s third year in the MLB. Manager of the year Managers are a big part of the game as well and many of them deserve awards for what the do. There are Two Managers, first is Buck Showalter, Having won in 1994 and 2004, Showalter completed the trilogy by anchoring the O's to a division title. The other is a Rookie Manger and that is Matt Williams, In his first season as a manager, Williams propelled the Nationals to 96 victories and the National League East crown. 
(Johnson) Defensive Player of the year The Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Awards are determined by a formula that balances scouting information, sabermetric analysis and basic fielding stats. The MVP for this category is first baseman Adrian Gonzalez for the Dodgers. Another honorable mention is Russell Martin for the Pirates. (Hills) Players Choice awards Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw took center stage at the unveiling of the Players Choice Awards, claiming Player of the Year, Marvin Miller Man of the Year and NL Outstanding Pitcher. The number one player of the choice awards is again Mike Trout for the Los Angeles Angels. Outstanding DH Award Victor Martinez became the first Tiger to win the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award since Rusty Staub in 1978. Martinez led the Major Leagues with a .974 OPS, and topped the American League with a .409 on base percentage. Martinez spent much of the year with his homerun and strikeout totals in a neck and neck battle. He couldn't keep the strikeout total lower by the end, but he became the first hitter since Barry Bonds in 2004 to hit 30 or more home runs with 42 or fewer strikeouts in the same season. (Riley) There are many awards in the MLB but the top known awards were put into this Article. Players who are awarded take pride in the accomplishment and it only gives them a reason to work harder the following season. Mike Trout has 4 Awards this year which is outstanding considering this is only his 3rd year. Lets just say I won’t be surprised if he shows up on the front cover of the next MLB video game.
