Where Does Mike Trout Sit in the Early AL MVP Race?

For Mike Trout, this has been perhaps his hottest start to a season so far in his career. His efforts in the first full week of the season earned Trout his first AL Player of the Week Award since 2015, which seems really weird considering he has been the best player in the MLB for six years straight now.

In just 12 games, Trout is slashing .406/.592/.938 and has been dynamic in the field. The highlights of his defensive play can be narrowed down to two plays. The first one being when he gunned down a Texas Ranger at home plate.
