"Angels outfielder Mike Trout has been selected the minor league player of the year by Baseball America magazine.

The Angels' top pick — and the 25th overall selection—in the 2009 draft, Trout hit .326 in 91 games for double-A Arkansas this summer with 13 triples, 11 homers and 33 stolen bases in 43 tries.

Despite spending most of July and August in the major leagues, Trout led the Texas League in hitting, on-base percentage (.414) and OPS (.958). He finished in the top five in steals and runs (82)."
