Troy Taormina-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let me tell you a story about a 34-year-old baseball player. Seven games into the new season, there are some worrying signs about his performance. His swing speed is down half a tick, and two full ticks from 2024. His fast-swing rate has declined precipitously. He\u2019s squaring the ball up less frequently than ever, the opposite of what\u2019s supposed to happen when you rein in your swing. He\u2019s never run a lower hard-hit rate. He\u2019s never run a higher<\/em> infield fly ball rate. Somebody call an ambulance.<\/p>\n

\u2026 But not for him. The hitter in question is Mike Trout<\/a>, and he\u2019s off to a scorching start. He\u2019s slashing an absurd .261\/.485\/.522, good for a 192 wRC+. Whenever process statistics and result statistics diverge this much, this early in the season, I\u2019m tempted to yell \u201cApril\u201d in my best Dan Szymborski voice and move on. But when it\u2019s Trout, one of the best players of all time, I\u2019m willing to be more open-minded. Let\u2019s take a quick peek into what\u2019s changed, what hasn\u2019t, and what\u2019s too early to tell.<\/p>\n

The most obvious change in Trout\u2019s statistics this year is that he\u2019s walking 30% of the time. Walks have always been a part of Trout\u2019s game, of course. He has a keen eye at the plate, annually notching one of the lowest chase rates in the game, and he makes enough contact that he can grind his way back into at-bats even after falling behind. But 30% is double his career rate. What gives? <\/p>\n

Trout hasn\u2019t changed the way he starts at-bats that much. On the first pitch, he\u2019ll swing if you make him, but he wants to either drive a pitch he\u2019s hunting or take a pitch he wasn\u2019t expecting. It\u2019s a great plan if you have a good eye for balls and strikes, and he does. There\u2019s not much to see here. Pitchers are starting Trout off with strikes half the time, right in line with league average and what they\u2019ve generally done against him, and he\u2019s swinging as often, and with as much malicious intent, as ever.<\/p>\n

When he falls behind, Trout has always been an adaptive hitter. He expands the zone, but not recklessly so. I like to explain this by looking at swing rate in the chase zone, the area off the plate by enough that there\u2019s no question of a called strike, but close enough that the pitches that end up there often start out tempting enough to draw a swing. Trout swings around 20% of the time \u2013 18% this year \u2013 at chase pitches when down in the count. The league swings at around 30% of them. This means that he gets back into counts quite frequently.<\/p>\n

The real bonanza comes when Trout gets even or ahead. When he\u2019s on the defensive, he applies his keen batting eye to work his way back to even. When he\u2019s attacking, though, he adeptly tunes out everything except the pitch he\u2019s looking to drive. If you\u2019re trying to beat Trout when he\u2019s ahead in the count, you\u2019ll pretty much have to do it in the strike zone, because he\u2019s just not going to expand. He hasn\u2019t swung at a single pitch in the chase or waste (even farther outside than chase) zones this year when he\u2019s ahead in the count. He\u2019s only swung at three when he\u2019s even. To him, those pitches might as well not exist.<\/p>\n

The takeaway here is: Don\u2019t try to make Trout chase when you don\u2019t have count leverage. But pitchers aren\u2019t taking that lesson so far. More than 30% of the pitches he\u2019s seen when he\u2019s even or ahead have been in the chase or waste zones. That\u2019s an outrageous number, and would be one of the highest rates in the league over a full season. That\u2019s how pitchers deal with super aggressive hitters like Bryce Harper<\/a> (35% chase rate in 2025), Nick Castellanos<\/a> (41%), or Jhonkensy Noel<\/a> (49%). Trout chases 20% of the time! He\u2019s nothing like those guys. The result is a ton of pitches that have been very easy for him to pass on.<\/p>\n

Pitchers really<\/em> don\u2019t want to get into this situation against Trout. One of two things is going to happen. First, they might throw Trout the pitch he\u2019s looking for and watch him clobber it. Sure, he doesn\u2019t swing quite as hard as he did at his best, but he still does a ton of damage. His EV90, the exit velocity of his 90th-percentile batted ball, remains among the best in the league. He\u2019s spectacular at elevating his hard contact; if he hits it flush, it\u2019s often leaving the yard, as evidenced by his 20% barrel rate. He\u2019s Mike Freaking Trout. You know he can slug.<\/p>\n

Second, you might walk him. It\u2019s rational to fear throwing Trout a gimme. Half the pitchers he faces grew up seeing him terrorize the pitchers they idolized as kids. The Angels were one of the worst offenses in baseball last year. They project to be one of the worst offenses in baseball again this year. Why not try and strike the guy out with some sliders in the dirt, and then move on to dealing with his less-gifted compatriots if he doesn\u2019t bite?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not actually a good way to think. Free baserunners make everyone batting after Trout better. But he\u2019s walking 44% of the time after getting ahead 1-0 so far this year, 56% after getting ahead 2-0. There\u2019s just no way to successfully pitch to Trout \u2013 or anyone, really \u2013 if you\u2019re walking him half the time that you fall behind in the count against him.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, Trout hasn\u2019t yet managed to record a hit after getting ahead 1-0. He\u2019s batting .000\/.438\/.000 after that count, and .000\/.556\/.000 after getting ahead 2-0. I don\u2019t even really know how to analyze those lines. They don\u2019t look like baseball. But what is he supposed to do, not take these walks? They\u2019ve been presented to him on a silver platter.<\/p>\n

The challenge system might actually be helping Trout walk even more. His weakness has long been fastballs at the top of the strike zone. That\u2019s so well-known that Effectively Wild<\/em> made a t-shirt<\/a> about it. So what has Trout challenged so far? Four high fastballs. He\u2019s overturned three of them into balls. Now that pitchers can\u2019t get as many called strikes if they aim for Trout\u2019s weakness, the puzzle gets even harder to solve.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the funniest part of all of these statistics, to me, is that Trout has done all of his extra-base damage in 0-1 counts. Throw him a mediocre sinker on the inner edge? He\u2019ll pull his hands in and send it into orbit:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Throw him a worse sinker, with more of the plate and not enough elevation? Well, yeah:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The best way to explain Trout\u2019s hot start, at least for now, is that he\u2019s scrambled the minds of the pitchers he\u2019s facing. Those two sinkers? They came in the first two games of the season, in pitcher\u2019s counts, and announced to the league that Trout is still a force. Ever since then, teams have treated him with kid gloves. But they\u2019ve done so to far<\/em> too great an extent, and now they\u2019re just walking him half the time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure where this equilibrium is going to settle in. Trout\u2019s discipline means that his stats are largely determined by how he\u2019s pitched; if the opposing team doesn\u2019t challenge him in the zone, he\u2019ll continue to take pitches and walk. If they decide that attacking the zone is the order of the day, he\u2019ll strike out more \u2013 he\u2019s striking out a quarter of the time even while teams are avoiding him \u2013 but he\u2019ll also hit for a lot of power. Trout\u2019s two greatest skills \u2013 waiting for a pitch to hit, and then hitting it \u2013 have both been on display this year. They\u2019ve just been on display at different times, because right now, pitchers want no part of him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
