La Angels Star Mike Pastrmka He was not healthy in the last four years, playing only 59% of his team games, which is why he was first in MLB Top 100 Ball players who started in the 2025 season.
Trout suffered various injuries, including torn meniscus in the left knee last season. Before joining the injured list, he only played 29 games, hit .220 and 10 home runs.
Considering that, the MLB Analyst was not surprised to have found trousers so low on the ladder on the ladder. However, ex New York Mets Director General Steve Phillips strongly supported that the triple MVP would bring his return well.

“You can argue for that, but the way I look at him is that even when he was on the ground in a limited action, he was still an elite performer,” Phillips said.

Mike Trout ready to play DH if necessary to stay healthy
Many injuries, including the ones he had last year, reduced his defensive positioning on the field.
Mike Trout hesitated to leave Outfield, which made him sustain several injuries playing the most striking position throughout the baseball: Centerfield.
However, now that he has seen a fair amount of injuries, he has decided to play DH or move to the left field, according to the demands of the team.
“I think it’s all on the table,” Trout said last year. “Ultimately, my goal is to be in a box of that dough, on the ground every day.
“Whether it moves to a corner or more, I will let it go to the front office to get to the plan. Where and what happened in the last few years, I will definitely try to explore any option that can keep me outside.”
The move, in some ways, should help Mike Trout expand his career and once again started performing at an elite level.
