I simply cannot get over how much I love Mike Trout of the
Los Angeles Angels. He is a rookie, he just turned 20 years old this year, and
his slash line is: .338/.388/.559. (Thats average/on base percentage, and slugging percentage) He has played in only 34 games and has already scored 24
runs, hit 5 HR, batted in 22 people from the lead off spot, walked 12 times,
and stolen 9 bases.
He just won the rookie of the month award for May, and will
probably win it 2 or 3 more times this year and challenge very strongly for the
Rookie of the Year for the 2012 season.
But what I like most about him is his approach to the game.
He plays extremely hard, and he does it with a humility that is incredibly
endearing. He doesn’t take a play off, he uses his athletic ability to its
greatest effectiveness, and has shown an intelligence to be able to adjust
between at bats. I think Bryce Harper is supremely talented, but Trout has the kind of personality that will let all fans like him, not just Angel's fans.
I officially have a man crush on Mike Trout. This series
will be on-going.
