Mike Trout saw a pitch from Minnesota Twins reliever
Cole Sands in the seventh inning and deposited it into the left field seats for his ninth of the season as the Angels lost to the Twins 11-4. He is now tied for the MLB lead in that department. Trout is enjoying a nice power surge to start the 2025 campaign, but is only batting .185 thus far. Look for Trout to find more consistency at the plate throughout the season, but his power production has been incredible for fantasy managers. He is now slashing .185/.280/.511 with the nine home runs, 14 runs scored, and 18 RBI to go with two stolen bases. Next up for Trout are a few right-handed Twins pitchers,
Simeon Woods Richardson and
Joe Ryan, to wrap their three-game series against the Twins.

Mike Trout connected on a pair of solo home runs to provide all the Angels' offense in their 3-2 loss to the Giants on Saturday night. Trout had solo blasts in the fourth and sixth innings off San Francisco's starter
Landen Roupp, who was excellent aside from those two home runs. Trout's two taters bring him to eight home runs on the year, just one behind the MLB lead held by the Athletics'
Tyler Soderstrom. Trout is hitting just .189 in his 20 games, but his eight home runs and two stolen bases have helped him keep his fantasy value. He has a .338 ISO and .333 wOBA along with a 50.9% hard-hit rate. His .133 BABIP and his batting average will likely trend up if he keeps hitting the ball so hard. Continue to play Trout for his power potential, and expect the batting average to come around as well.

Mike Trout has been a stud early in the season. On Saturday, Trout kicked off the scoring with a two-run single off
Ryan Gusto in the opening frame. Trout didn't do much more in this game, but was involved in an odd play where the fan appeared to take the ball out of his glove. The 33-year-old has been awesome early in the season with six home runs and 14 RBI with eight walks as well. The biggest problem for Trout has been staying healthy, but he's one of the best hitters in the league when he plays.

Mike Trout had a big day at the plate, along with several other teammates, in the team's 11-1 drubbing of the Tampa Bay Rays in Thursday's series finale. Trout went 2-for-5 with two home runs, two runs scored and three RBI to keep his early-season power streak going. The Angels clubbed a whopping six homers off Rays right-hander
Zack Littell, with
Taylor Ward and
Jo Adell also hitting two homers apiece. The 33-year-old Trout is hitting only .205 through his first 12 games of 2025, but he has five homers, 11 RBI and an .895 OPS. The primary takeaway is that he's been able to stay healthy after playing in only 29 games in 2024 and 82 the previous season due to injuries. If Trout can stay healthy for the majority of the season, fantasy managers that took the chance on him at his lowered cost will be pleasantly surprised.
