Trout should steal more like he did in the beginning of his career

He could be the 1st 50/50 Player, 50 HR's 50 Steals

Why stop at .400?

Let's go for .600!

As an Angels fan I see him play nearly every game on TV. He truly is one of the best I have ever seen.

Sadly, it seem his incredible season is going waste because of the worst bullpen in the game. The bullpen has blown late inning leads in 13 of the last 19. Blake Parker and Cam Bedrosian should never be on the mound with any lead, no matter how big.

Trout plays in a bad spot to hit .400. Being CF, banging into walls, diving, etc. Altuve and others have a better chance.

Brett, Gwynn, and Ichiro were the last guys who had a shot.

meh...

When Ted Williams hit .406, he had just 27 SO in 606 PA. When Tony Gwynn hit .394 in 1994, he had just 19 SO in 475 PA.

Trout is at 60 SO before the season is half over. That in itself makes .400 next to impossible.

It’s a long way from .335 to .400

Just like Tim Salmon in the past, Trout knows how to spawn a rally.

MT is the best all around player in the game. Just ask any other player.

Too much media attention will take him off of his game but they’d never admit that they have a serious problem that affects people in a bad way.

23 teams passed on him in the 2009 draft and he wasn’t even the Angel’s first pick.

Hitting .400 is an upstream battle.

Trout may be the best player in the Bigs but please. Eleven days does not a season make. You could take 11 days out of multiple careers and extrapolate it to hitting .400 or better.

Think Mike Trout can still hit .400 this year?

He’s currently at .306, which is exactly his career average.
