Any questions as to whether or not Angels center fielder Mike Trout is still the best player in baseball have been answered during his plate appearances through the first five games of the season. The three-time MVP launched his first home run of the season in Monday’s 7-6 win over the Astros, and it was a no doubter.
In 23 PA’s, Trout has gone 6-for-15 with one home run and three RBI while slashing .400/.609/.667 this season. The 29-year-old also leads all MLB players with eight walks, which is just as many as the entire Brewers (8) roster and more than the Braves (5).
