It’s hard to find anything to nitpick about Mike Trout’s game. Statistically he’s been on top of the baseball world for the better part of a decade and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon. That being said, he is human and he’s been prone to strikeouts at a high rate this season.

In 61 plate appearances, Trout has 19 strikeouts. The three-time MVP has punched out in 12 of 14 games this season, and has struck out three or more times in three of those contests.
