ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout is the first player in the major leagues this season to reach 10 home runs. What the Los Angeles Angels slugger really wants is more consistency at the plate.
Trout’s solo shot during the sixth inning of Wednesday’s 6-5 loss to Baltimore marked the third time since 2018 he has been the first to reach double digits in homers. It also was the second time this season he has gone deep in multiple games.
However, the three-time AL MVP is batting .237, on pace for the lowest batting average going into May in his 14-year big league career.
That’s quite a change from the past three seasons, when Trout had a .347 average in March and April. In 2021, he his average was .425 on May 1.
“Some of the at-bats I feel really good and some of the at-bats just trying to figure some stuff out,” Trout said after Wednesday’s game. “I’m just trying to put a full game together.”
