Mike Trout's Speed Shines Despite Hitless Outing
by Chase Davis | Angels Correspondent | Fri, Apr 19th 9:15am EDT
Mike Trout finished 0-for-3 with a run and two steals in the Angels' 2-1 loss to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not registering a hit, Trout managed to score a run and steal two bases, also drawing a walk and striking out once. This performance, while lackluster in terms of batting, highlights Trout's ability to contribute in multiple fantasy categories, particularly in stolen bases which now tally up to seven for the season. His overall batting average sits at .270, and while today's game didn't help, his ability to find ways to score and steal bases keeps his fantasy value afloat. Owners should keep an eye on his strikeout and walk rates, which could indicate more about his approach at the plate moving forward, but Trout is putting together a very impressive beginning of the season.
