ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout broke into the majors as a true five-tool player who stole 49 bases during his first full season with the Los Angeles Angels in 2012.
Trout stole 24 bases as recently as 2018, but the three-time AL MVP didn't steal that many in the next five seasons combined while age, injuries and the Angels' overall philosophy slowed him down.
Before Trout took the field for the Angels' home opener against Boston on Friday night, he said he's eager to start running wild on the bases again -- and manager Ron Washington is willing to see it happen.
