Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-2 with an RBI-single and two walks in the Angels 4-3 win over the White Sox on Opening Day. Trout reached base twice before smoking a single into left field in the 8th inning to drive home the tying run as the Angels scored twice in the frame to take the lead. Trout was clutch in the first game of the season and is an easy call in DFS heading into the weekend.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout enjoyed a strong day at the plate on Monday, driving in three runs against the Cubs. There isn't much to worry about Trout's game with one week left to play in Spring Training but it would be nice to see the MVP-candidate hit the ground running out of the gate. For the spring, Trout is slashing .250/.417/.393 but those numbers should be taken as gospel. Once the bell rings on the regular season, Trout will be an elite, top-three play on a daily basis. As...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout had a solid day at the plate in Thursday's win, drawing two walks and collecting a base hit against the Brewers. Trout is having a bit of a slow start to the spring, as he has just five hits in 27 plate appearances. However, worrying about Trout because of a lack of spring training statistics would be preposterous, given his incredible track record. He placed in the 80th percentile or better in nine statistics last year and has averaged 106 runs, 37 home...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout hit his first home run of spring training on Thursday, a towering two-run shot off Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto. Trout was previously 2-for-8 in five Cactus League games. Including his home run Thursday, the three-time American League MVP and eight-time All-Star is a career .346 hitter with 27 home runs and 101 RBI in 186 Cactus League games. He was hitting second in the order, but manager Joe Maddon isn't sure where Trout will hit once the season ...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will make his third start of the spring and bat second against the Athletics on Friday. Trout has one walk and one hit in four plate appearances so far, though this will be his first appearance in the two-hole after batting cleanup in his first two games. The three-time MVP slashed .281/.390/.603 in 53 games last year, which was actually a bit of a down year by his incredible standards. Trout won't steal as many bases as he used to, but this is a guy who...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is really good at baseball. Nobody can really dispute that, but a deeper dive into his numbers shows just how good he really is at hitting baseballs. Over his last 299 big-league games, he has a .299 batting average, a .440 on-base percentage over his last 440 plate appearances, a .610 slugging percentage in his last 610 games and a 1.020 OPS in his last 1,020 games dating back to May of 2013. The 29-year-old had a career-low .281 average, stole just one...

Angels superstar Mike Trout continues to be excellent at baseball, but the shape of his greatness appears to be changing. He hit .281/.390/.603 with 17 long balls over 241 PAs in 2020, but fantasy managers may have wanted more than one steal and a higher average. His Statcast Sprint Speed declined slightly (28.9 ft./sec vs. 29.3 in 2019), and Trout's defensive metrics have indicated some loss of athleticism for two years now. As such, his days of 30+ steals are probably over. Trout's 23.2 K% ...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout and third baseman Anthony Rendon are both absent from Saturdays starting nine against the Dodgers and right-hander Tony Gonsolin due to rest days. Manager Joe Maddon stated that he wants to get younger players a look over the final two games of the year, which indicates that Trout and Rendon will likely be back in the mix Sunday. Both Trout (.993 OPS) and Rendon (.915 OPS) have had tremendous 2020 campaigns as the backbone of the clubs order, and both ...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will wrap up his 2020 season beginning Friday against the Dodgers. The Angels are, once again, not making a trip to the postseason but Trout has had another elite season. Despite hitting only .194 over his last 10 games, Trout is still slashing .306/.446/.583 in the month of September with four home runs, six doubles and 11 runs batted in. The strangest part of Trout's season has been his ineffectiveness on the road this season. In 26 games away from ...

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was 1-for-4 with two strikeouts during Monday's 8-5 win over the Texas Rangers. Trout has garnered a hit in seven-straight games, but he is hitting .259 with zero homers over that span. After mashing 11 homers in August, he only has one long ball since Sept. 5. Nevertheless, it has been another phenomenal season for the 29-year-old, and he will likely finish the year on a high note. He remains the safest fantasy option at the top of drafts heading into ...
