Mike Trout picked up two awards on Wednesday, with three weeks still to go before the AL MVP Award will be announced.

Trout won the American League Hank Aaron Award, which goes to the best offensive player in each league. Christian Yelich of the Milwaukee Brewers won the NL award.

Trout also was named Sporting News Major League Player of the Year. The award, which includes both leagues, is determined by a vote of major league players. There were 270 ballots cast, and Trout was named on 134 ballots. Players can’t vote for their teammates.

This is the first time that Trout has won this particular award. Trout is a two-time winner of the Hank Aaron Award, including 2014.

The Hank Aaron award is selected by a vote of fans.

The most significant prize, of course, is the MVP Award, which is awarded by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Trout is a two-time winner of that award, and he and Alex Bregman are the top two candidates this year. The winner will be announced on Nov. 14.

Trout, 28, hit .291 with 45 homers and a 1.083 OPS this season, which he said he was his best offensive season. Trout’s campaign was cut short because he had surgery to remove a Morton’s neuroma in his right foot.
