Mike Trout had yet another dominant season with the Los Angeles Angels and was once again given the Silver Slugger award. This is the ninth time in his career that Trout has been named a Silver Slugger. No other player in the MLB has more than five. This speaks to Trouts' incredible consistency over his career.Trout even managed to win the award in a season when he was plagued with injuries. He played in only 119 games, but managed to reach 40 home runs and maintained a .283 batting average. If he had been healthy all season, he would have been right up there with Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge in the MVP race.The Los Angeles Angels announced the award win for their superstar via Twitter.Los Angeles Angels@AngelsCongrats to nine-time Silver Slugger Award winner, @MikeTrout!5305748🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Congrats to nine-time Silver Slugger Award winner, @MikeTrout! https://t.co/A7CKzg5qOWIt comes as no surprise that Angels fans were absolutely thrilled by this news.

He won Rookie of the Year in 2012, and never stopped racking up awards after that. He is the ideal player to build a team around, despite how hard the Angels make it look.With Mike Trout going down as one of the best players of all time, the only question left is whether he can add a World Series championship to his resume.
