He's still healthy. He has good slugging power and the team is good. It's about LA Angels Mike Trout.

Trout hit two hits, three RBIs and two runs from five times at bat, including two home runs, in an away game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Stain Brenner Field in Tampa, Florida on the 11th (Korea time). The Angels, with Trout at the forefront, won 11 to 1 and marked 8-4 by decorating the three consecutive games with a 2-1 winning series. The Angels are on the winning series for the fourth consecutive time this season. It ranks second in the AL West.

Trout widened the score gap to 7-1 by hitting a superior two-run shot at first base with no outs in the top of the fifth inning with a 5-1 lead. Tampa Bay right-hander Zack Rittell's 3rd pitch pushed a 90.8-mile outside sinker to tip the fence inside the right foul pole. With a launch angle of 33 degrees, a batting speed of 97.7 miles, and a distance of 320 feet, the other 29 stadiums would not have had a home run.




However, the second home run flew properly. Trout, who led the ninth inning with a 10-1 lead, hit a 97.4 mile fastball outside right-hander Hunter Biggie's second pitch to well over the right-center fence. With a launch angle of 25 degrees, a batting speed of 106.6 miles and a driving distance of 403 feet, Statcast also viewed it as a home run in 20 other stadiums.

It is the 27th time in more than a year that Trout has played a multi-homer game since the Miami Marlins match at Rondipo Park on April 2 last year.

Trout is the first player in Major League history to sign a $400 million guaranteed contract. Trout, who sat on the fence by signing a six-year, $144.5 million contract with the Angels in March 2014, his third full-time year, renewed his existing contract with two years remaining in March 2019 when he was in his prime as a top superstar, including becoming the AL MVP in 2014 and 2016, and extended his contract to $426.5 million (about 620 billion won) for 12 years.




As if to repay this, he won his third MVP that year, marking a batting average of 0.291, 45 home runs, 104 RBIs, 110 points, and 1.083 OPS. However, he was relatively healthy, but after the 2020 shortened season, he suffered serious injuries every year from 2021 and missed much more days.

In 2021, on May 18, his 36th game of the season, he ended the season with a right scapula injury while playing base running against the Cleveland Guardians. In 2022, he was diagnosed with costal spinal dysfunction from July to August, so he had to sit out for a month. However, after returning on August 20, he showed his strength to hit 16 home runs and recorded 40 home runs in 119 games of the season.

However, after going to the WBC in March 2023, while struggling with a drop in hitting sense since mid-May, he effectively ended the season with a fractured left palate while batting against the San Diego Padres on July 4. He returned to action against the Cincinnati Reds on August 23, but was reinstated due to a recurrence of his injury.

The same is true last year. He was diagnosed with damage to the meniscus in his left knee at the end of April and ended the season early again. Ron Washington, who took over as Angels head coach that year, said in the spring training book `I hope Might Trout is Mike Trout. I hope he leads the team and the rest of the players will grow well.' Trout ended the season with 29 career-lowest games.

In the four years from 2021 to 2024, he played only 41% of his entire schedule. From the Angels' point of view, they just paid an annual salary of $37 million per year.

He is off to a good start this season as well. In the exhibition game, he also played in 17 games and hit three home runs to check his condition. As of today, Trout has a batting average of 0.205 (9 hits in 44 at-bats), five home runs, 11 RBIs, eight runs, eight walks, eight strikeouts and an OPS of 0.895.

Recently, Shohei Ohtani ($700 million for 10 years), Juan Soto ($765 million for 15 years), and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ($500 million for 14 years) have opened a ransom 'New World', but Trout is still considered an icon of ransom in major league history.

Born in August 1991, he is 34 years old. The contract ends in 2030. There's still a long way to go.
