A 19-year-old named Cody Bellinger did not fit into either category.
Trout played through the pain of that loss and the lingering foot issue, which hampered him for about a month before he chose to have surgery. Rendon netted one first-place vote, one for second and 24 for third place. For the second straight year, the Nationals have a MVP-caliber player entering free agency, after outfielder Bryce Harper famously entered the "hot stove" last winter without a new deal and eventually signed with the Philadelphia Phillies. He led the majors in on-base percentage (.438), trailed only Christian Yelich in slugging percentage (.645) and paced the sport in weighted runs created plus (180). He was the best hitter in an incredibly deep lineup, setting career highs in home runs, RBIs, walks, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, OPS and total bases.
The Baseball Writers Association of America announced the league's Most Valuable Player Award winners on Thursday evening.
"The power surge, being able to square up baseballs, knowing my swing - sometimes it takes a minute or two minutes in the [batting] cage, [and] sometimes it takes an hour", Trout said. He was the best player on a team that won an NL-best 106 games.
He's the 13th Dodger to win the award, joining Campanella (1951, 1953, 1955), Dolph Camilli (1941), Jackie Robinson (1949), Don Newcombe (1956), Maury Wills (1962), Sandy Koufax (1963), Steve Garvey (1974), Kirk Gibson (1988) and Clayton Kershaw (2014).

Blazers’ championship odds before and after Carmelo Anthony signing
It's unlikely that Anthony is ready to suit up two days after signing his contract to compete against the Spurs on Saturday. After making it to the Western Conference Finals last season, the Blazers have started this season slow.
Finally, Bellinger was the best player on the field on most nights in the games he played in.
Advanced metrics showed both races to be tight. Napoli and Ross were teammates with the Boston Red Sox in 2013.
Bogaerts hit.309 with a career-high 33 homers and 117 RBIs. Garciaparra did it in 1997 and 2002.
Bogaerts was just the third shortstop in Major League Baseball history with at least a.300 batting average, 85 extra-base hits, and 115-plus RBIs. Also receiving votes were Matt Chapman, George Springer, Mookie Betts, Nelson Cruz, Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander, Rafael Devers, Jorge Polanco, Austin Meadows, Francisco Lindor, Carlos Santana, Gleyber Torres, Eddie Rosario, José Abreu, Max Kepler, J.D. Martinez was tied for 21st in AL voting. He had hit only four pro home runs.
Just 10 free agents received the offers on November 4, and their former teams will receive draft-pick compensation if they sign elsewhere before the amateur draft in June. Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien finished third in the voting.
