Anaheim Angels Mike Trout is like thinking of a superhero figure walking in the northern hemisphere of Planet Earth. The guy can hit, amuse, fist bump his chest and still look good. These are the qualities that make or break Trout.
Greatness is defined as being great, distinguished, or eminent, and none of those sometimes exemplify Trout. Trout, for example, did not adore commercials, an undesirable way to catapult to the top. Eminence was not on his mind all the time, even though there were choices.
Trout would also be hit by a significant of lows marginalizing to highs as a loyal cast member of the Angels for the last thirteen years of his full career. Meaning, if it was one top play after the other or a walk-off moment that solidified absolutely everything.
It was a telling moment, however, when Shohei Ohtani struck out his Angels teammate Mike Trout in the 2023 World Baseball Classic and put aside talk that the kid from Millville, NJ could come up clutch for Team USA.
The real talk is Trout still has some years left of baseball in him but his career greatness of .299 BA and .991 OPS cannot be overshadowed to go along with his excellent fielding jinx, of course.
