To the voters, it's still not as impressive as what Trout is doing. It wouldn't be the first time a Triple Crown winner didn't win MVP, either.

It's the award for the best player, not the best hitter. That's why Trout will be winning as he contributes a ton on the basepaths and, of course, on defense. A robbed home run is worth just as much as a home run that you hit.

So Trout could very likely walk away with the MVP, ROTY, and Gold Glove awards all in one season. At age 21. Hot damn.
