Mike Trout

On September 9, in a game against the Detroit Tigers, Trout became the first player in baseball history under the age of 22 to hit a leadoff home run in back-to-back games. On September 21, Trout became the first rookie to score 120 or more runs since Ichiro Suzuki did it back in 2001 for the Seattle Mariners and just the fourth rookie to accomplished that feat since 1964. Trout's 120th runs scored came when he belted a home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in a game against the Chicago White Sox.

Trout set the Angels' club record for most runs scored in a season, surpassing the 124 runs scored by Vladimir Guerrero (2004). He also set the Angels rookie record for most hits in a season with 173, passing Wally Joyner (172 in 1986). Trout became the first rookie ever to hit 30 home runs and steal 40 bases in the same season when he hit his 30th home run of the season in the seventh inning off of Yu Darvish on September 30. At age 21, he became the youngest player to join the 30–30 club. Trout is the first player in MLB history to hit 30 homers, steal 45 bases and score 125 runs in one season. Read Less
