Mike Trout was drafted 25th overall in the first found of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Angels out of high school. He made his MLB debut at 19 years old, where he struggled (.220 AVG) over 40 games. In 2012, he was officially lost his rookie eligibility, and in turn won ROY, as well as being selected to his first out of eight straight All-Star games, only being stopped in 2020, where there was no All-Star game. He’s also racked up eight Silver Sluggers and three MVP awards in his first ten years in the league.

Mike Trout has been one of the most consistently elite players in baseball as he has led the league in OBP four times, and in OPS four times as well. Along with finishing in the top-five of MVP voting for a MLB record nine consecutive years, Trout was been the winner or runner-up of the award SEVEN of those times and won three of them (t-most in AL history).
Year in and year out, Mike Trout is one of the best hitters in the league. Before his 30th birthday, Trout had 310 HR after the season where Barry Bonds had 292 HR when he turned 30. Mike Trout has a non-zero chance to break the all-time HR record as well as become the greatest player ever due to his all-around excellence in the batter’s box, on the base paths, and with the glove.
