Rumors of Mike Trout’s death are greatly exaggerated. The really cool thing is that instead of a BA or .000, he now has a BA of .100. Instead of a SLG% of .000, he now has a SLG% of .400. He also did this today:
In a game starved for offense, this blast was the only run on the board through the first eight innings.
But however much I wish it to be so, this isn’t a story about Mike Trout. It’s a story about Tyler Skaggs. Skaggs rolled through spring, not so much mowing down hitters as getting mowed down by hitters.
