Mike Trout News

Los Angeles Angels,Ron Washington,MLB

Mike Trout says he would like to steal more than 20 bases this season for the Los Angeles Angels. The three-time AL MVP has only stolen six bases in the past four seasons combined, and three of those campaigns ended early due to injury.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout talks with former baseball players Jered Weaver, left and Torii Hunter during warmups before the Angels’ home-opener baseball game gainst the Boston Red Sox in Anaheim, Calif., Friday, April 5, 2024. Los Angeles AngelsMike Trout looks to center field after hitting a home run during the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Miami Marlins, Monday, April 1, 2024, in Miami.

“I think 20-plus would be cool,” Trout said when asked how many bases he would like to steal. “Thirty would be really fun.” “I think if you’re out there holding back a little, I think sometimes it puts you in a worse position,” Trout said. “I’m not saying that’s what happened , but I feel like if I want to steal a base, I can steal a base, and Wash gave me the go-ahead. Looking back at the managers I had before, if I them I wanted to steal some bags, I would have. They wouldn’t have minded it. But it wasn’t like a game plan we had before. So the last three, four years, it hasn’t really worked.
