Orioles Mark Trumbo Finalist For 2016 Hank Aaron Award

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Mark Trumbo is a finalist for MLB's Hank Aaron Award for most outstanding offensive performance.

Trumbo ended his career year with the Orioles having played in 159 games, slashing .256/.316/.533 while hitting a major league-leading 47 home runs and driving in 108 RBIs.

Fan votes for the 2016 Hank Aaron Award, given to the top offensive player in each League, will be counted alongside those of a special panel of Hall of Famers.

The panel, led by Hank Aaron, includes some of the greatest offensive players of all time: Hall of Famers Roberto Alomar, Johnny Bench, Craig Biggio, Ken Griffey Jr., Eddie Murray, and Robin Yount, all personally chosen by Aaron to help select the winners.

Voting ends Oct. 14, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The awards will be presented during the World Series.
