Are MLB’s Top Hitters Struggling or Sabotaged? The Shocking Truth Behind Their Slow Starts Revealed!
There’s some good news, though: Trout has stayed healthy, and he’s still putting up some of the prettiest numbers in baseball in barrel percentage (16.7%), expected slugging percentage (.577), and even sprint speed (28.5 mph). Other positives: the nine homers and 183.2 BIP+. Trout is still hitting just .179, partly because his whiff rate and strikeout percentages have jumped in tandem to stunning levels, and his contact+ has fallen from 102 in 2024 to 85.2. Seeing Trout with a 29.8% K rate – 15th highest in the game – hurts.
