Through 13 games of the 2021 season, I think it’s still fair to label Angels outfielder Mike Trout as the undisputed best player in baseball. It’s rare for pitchers to get the best of Trout on a consistent basis so it got us thinking, which pitchers have had the most success against the three-time MVP?
It should be noted, we’re basing this list on pitchers with at least 20 plate appearances against Trout while breaking down the following categories: lowest batting average, slugging percentage, and most strikeouts.
