That’s not surprising. He’s the best young player I’ve ever seen, including Mickey. The guy is brilliant at every aspect of the game, and he’s still only 27 years old, although this is his eighth year in the bigs. And before that he tore up the minors when he was just a kid, amassing a cumulative minor league batting average of .341, including .403 in AAA. The last guy to tear up the minors like that was Willie Mays, who is often considered the greatest overall player in history. Yes, I know another player also has a case to make that claim, a certain George Herman Ruth, but when the dust clears Trout may have surpassed both of them.
But the key point here is that the Angels are 1-5 in that streak. In the game where Trout did not homer, they were shut out! He is, more or less, the whole team. As good as he is, maybe the Angels ought to consider trading him for a massive package of prospects or up-and-comers. (Maybe nobody has that level of resources, but there are a few teams that could peel off some big bucks from an unlimited bankroll instead.)
