It's the first time both players have won the award.
Trout put on a spectacular offensive display of power in 2014, hitting .287 with 36 home runs and an AL-best 111 RBIs.
Stanton put up even more incredible numbers, batting .288 with a NL-leading 37 home runs and 105 RBIs.
Miguel Cabrera (AL) and Paul Goldschmidt (NL) won the award last season.
