To say that Mike Trout has set the standard for the Los Angeles Angels is an understatement. Heading into Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the 11-time All-Star owned the franchise record for offensive WAR (86.6), OBP (.409), SLG (.579), on-base plus slugging (.968), runs (1,135), home runs (386), walks (992), and more.

The tape-measure home run is up there among the longest ever measured in Trout's career, and the longest by any batter in 2025, after a major adjustment by Statcast.

“It’s not ideal for sure,” said Mike Trout, a man so loyal to this franchise that he refuses to even entertain the idea of a trade. “I don’t know when we’re supposed to land, but it’s going to be early. And we’ve got to play that night. And the worst part about it is, the next day is a day game.”
