>Will Mike Trout (28, LA Angels) have a strange jinx of winning the MVP award in the "season to break 100 RBIs"?

Trout had a batting average of 0.293 and 43 home runs, 100 RBIs, 104 runs scored and 131 hits in 126 games of the season until Tuesday, and a .436 OPS 1.087 on-base percentage.

American League MVP Zero, which has nothing to do with the team's performance of the Los Angeles Angels. What's noteworthy is that he is the No. 1 overall homerun in Major League Baseball with 43 home runs. He is also the No. 2 hitter and has hit 100 RBIs.

He has already hit 100 RBIs through his excellent home run power, even though he has been batting second all season. This is purely Trout's personal ability.

Looking at Trout's season record of winning the American League MVP award so far, both times went over 100 RBIs. Of course it's a coincidence, but it could be a jinx for Trout.

Trout earlier won the American League MVP in the last 2014 and 2016 seasons. He won the title with 111 RBIs in the 2014 season, and also had 100 RBIs in the 2016 season.

He failed to reach 100 RBIs for the rest of the season. He had the best 97 RBIs in the 2013 season. The lowest since 2012 was 72 RBIs in the 2017 season. At that time, he played only 114 games.

Trout has no choice but to have fewer RBIs than other top-class central hitters. It's because he's batting number two. He played 642 games as the second batter. As the third batter, he has 348 games.

It remains to be seen whether Trout will win the MVP award in the season when he has 100 RBIs. In such a case, however, if Trout plays third batter, he will receive an MVP award every season.
