Trumbo is the third Orioles player to receive the award, which has been given out by Sporting News annually since 1965. First baseman Boog Powell won the award in 1966, when he hit .287/.372/.532 with 34 homers and 109 RBIs in the Orioles' first World Series title season. Right-hander Rick Sutcliffe won in 1992 at age 36 after going 16-15 with a 4.47 ERA in 237 1/3 innings.
