Verlander was tops in the AL in the pitching triple crown categories with a 2.40 ERA, 24 wins, and 250 strikeouts. He was clearly the MVP of the Tigers all season long winning big games throughout. He s Hall Of Famer Don Newcomb as someone that has won the Rookie of the Year Award, Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player Award.

Verlander received 13 of 28 1st-place votes for 280 points and was followed by Boston’s Jacoby Ellsbury (242), Toronto’s Jose Bautista (231), New York’s Curtis Granderson (215), and fellow Tiger Miguel Cabrera (193).
