Mike Trout
Mike Trout showcases his maestro skills, he is a ten-time MLB All-Star, three-time American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) (winning the award in 2014, 2016, and 2019, while finishing second in the 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2018 votes), and is an eight-time winner of the Silver Slugger Award.
Mike Trout entered Saturday while hitting .277/.366/.619 (173 OPS+) in his first 98 contests this season. In Saturday night’s 6-1 win over the Astros at Minute Maid Park, Mike Trout became the first player in Angels history to homer in six consecutive games.
“It’s pretty cool to accomplish that,” Mike Trout said. “I was just trying to prepare myself to make the right swing and time it. I have to take this momentum and keep it going the rest of the year.”
“He’s been incredible to do what he has done,” Los Angeles Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said off his expert slugger Trout. “He’s still coming back from injury, but he is hot right now.”
Dusty Baker known the true worth of Veteran Mike Trout
“He’s the hottest man around,” Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “He is Mike Trout. The greats, you pitch them differently, and then they adjust, and [you] pitch them differently, and they readjust. He’s a great player. It’s not a sin, really, when Mike Trout gets you.”
“… He’s going to get everybody sooner or later. You just hope when he gets you, it’s not a game-winner or there’s not two men on base like there were today.”
Mike has missed 40 games in the 2022 season and still has 34 home runs for the Los Angeles Angels. He missed a major chunk of the 2022 MLB season due to a hand injury and a rare back condition which he might have to monitor for the rest of his career.
