A superior athlete with a centerfielder's speed and instincts, Mike Trout looks ready for a bright future patrolling Torii Hunter's turf. A patient hitter with a line drive stroke to all fields, he has a mature understanding of the strike zone and an ability to work it. His excellent speed and baserunning sense is ready right now, and his power seems to be arriving as hoped. Of course, the Angels may have exhausted poor Trout when they shipped him to AFL play after a minor league season that was already exhausting, and that's not even counting the 40 games he played in Anaheim. Ignore the uncharacteristic .220 he showed during his time in MLB: when he returns in 2012, it'll be with all his ability intact, and he won't return to the minors again.

News and Notes

7/14/2011 by KDaddy


Mike Trout will join the Angels to open the second half. The centerfielder, who will take the roster spot of Peter Bourjous for now, was hitting .330 at AA Arkansas with 28 stolen bases. A hot start could vault the superprospect into ROY contention with teammate Mark Trumbo. Trout turns 20 in August.
