The Los Angeles Angels have seen Mike Trout return to form this season, in one of the best developments of the season.

But Trout isn't simply back to playing well; he's actually playing better than he has in any season before in his MLB career. Despite winning MVPs, Trout's start to the season has him on pace for a few personal records.

As Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller highlighted, Trout is on pace to break personal single-season records in three key statistics: walks, runs, and, most interestingly, home runs.

Mike Trout on pace to break personal records in 3 stats

"Trout's career high for home runs in a single season is 45, while his previous best marks in runs and walks were 129 and 122, respectively," Miller writes. "But through 35 team games, he is on pace for 46 home runs, 139 runs scored, and 157 free passes."

The Angels center fielder is on pace to set career highs in a few key statistics, with the home-run record the most impressive.

Trout has 10 home runs this season through 35 games, which would have him on pace for 46.28 in a 162-game season. It's going to be difficult to maintain that pace all year, but if he does, his single-season HR record is within reach.
