"It's awesome," Fielder said. "Really appreciate the fact the players award this, and it means a lot."
Fielder earned the award after returning from season-ending neck surgery in 2014 to hit .305 with 23 home runs and 98 RBIs. He had a .378 on-base percentage and a .463 slugging percentage. He was third in the league in hits (187), sixth in hitting and ninth in RBIs, helping the Rangers win the AL West.
Acquired from Detroit on Nov. 20, 2013, Fielder played in just 42 games for the Rangers in 2014, hitting .247 with three home runs and 16 RBIs.
