Mandatory Credit: William Liang-Imagn Images Trout will undoubtedly surpass this record by the end of the season, and could even do so by the end of the week with the way he’s been swinging the bat. Trout has eight homers on the season to go with four doubles, and has also driven in 17 runs through his 25 games. He has a slash line of .241/.416/.563 for a .979 OPS this season, and leads the team in most offensive stats. With Trout’s performances through the first month of the season, it’s hard to believe he’ll remain tied at the top for too much longer. How would you describe Mike Trout in one word?
