Look out MLB, Mike Trout just fixed his lone weakness

Mike Trout just fixed his one main weakness and that is bad news for every single MLB pitcher.

Mike Trout is a living legend in the game of baseball. The three-time MVP is back to his normal ways in 2021 and enters play Tuesday with a mind-blowing 1.359 OPS so far this season.

Trout is mashing the ball and his .426 batting average proves few pitchers are a fair match for what he can do at the plate. It turns out these great numbers may be due to the slugger fixing one weakness that had plagued him for years.

ESPN’s Buster Olney shared one specific stat proving how Trout has improved his game.

Mike Trout can hit a pitch anywhere in the zone

Opposing pitchers used to be able to attack Trout high in the zone. He must have gotten to work this offseason because he has turned his weakness into a strength. Olney went into more specifics as well.

Pitchers likely entered the season still trying to attack Trout with fastballs up in the strike zone. So much for that strategy. He is getting on-base over half of the time and already has six home runs in 18 games.

The goal now is for the Angels to finally get into the playoffs and make some noise in October with Trout on the roster. He is putting up historic numbers on an annual basis and while great, it would be better if the game’s biggest star did this on a bigger stage.

Shohei Ohtani is getting a ton of attention in Los Angeles for his ability to play both ways. But Trout is still the star for the Angels and he may end up chasing the .400 mark in terms of batting average if he truly has no weakness at the plate.
