Which player won the 2014 American League MVP Award ?

Mike Trout won the 2014 American League MVP Award. The Los Angeles Angels center fielder received all 30 first-place votes from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, making him a unanimous winner.

Trout’s 2014 season combined power, speed, defense, and overall consistency. He hit .287 with 36 home runs, 111 runs batted in, and 115 runs scored, helping the Angels win the American League West. He also made the All-Star team and won that game’s MVP Award, giving him both the regular-season and All-Star honors in the same year.

The award was especially notable because Trout had finished second in AL MVP voting in both 2012 and 2013, behind Miguel Cabrera each time. His 2014 victory was his first regular-season MVP, although it was not his last: he later won the award in 2016 and 2019. The 2014 result is sometimes confused with Trout’s All-Star MVP, but both awards went to him that year.
