Trout is really struggling

If he did play in the derby, this thread would be 14 pages long already. And fire DiPoto/Scioscia threads would be close behind

Which proves that the post Home Run Derby slump theory's are just a myth.

He shouldn't have played in the ASG. He used a lot of energy in the game and he wasn't able to get any rest for the second half of the season.

That HR derby really f'd him up.

It was a rough night for him.

[Troll Daddy]

He's the best player in baseball ... these slumps never last long.

Pujols will pass Trout soon in BA and this board will explode

[Ohtaniland]

He will now be known as Mike Drout.

[stormngt]

Actually I am. But I experienced 1995.

The entire team has been avg since the break. Is our record 6-6? After tonight

Anyone else concerned were about to choke in the 2nd half

[Sam Sanchez]

Hopefully Trout gets this slump out of his system very soon. Would love to see him and the rest of the team bust out against the Dodgers. Got to get it going now though.

His emphasis on power this year seems to have really hurt his production.

At the current rate he won't even hit 9 war and first time he will be at less than 10 WAR.

I like the less fat Trout that can steal 50 bases a year.

when there is a strike that an opposing pitcher can throw that a player isn't very good at hitting, you can bet they are going to exploit that.  

 

there are going to be times where he's not seeing the ball well and pitchers seem to be able to hit that spot consistently.  He's gonna struggle during those times.  

 

To me, there is a way out of it, but most people aren't going to like it.  Swing at the first pitch more often.  

 

Not all the time, but just enough to where they are afraid to groove strike one.  When he isn't going good, he is constantly behind in the count because of that strike one down broadway fastball.  Make them think about it.  

 

I also think he tends look breaking ball too much with two strikes and he whiffs a lot on the fastball.  

 

So there it is.  Hitting advice to the best baseball player in the world from a Radiologist with internet access.

He may be the best player but if you look at his heatmap he has a big hole in his swing.

And pitchers are eventually going to catch on to either go really low or high in the zone against Trout.

That appears to be a first pitch strike. He has been way too passive and letting pitchers groove first pitch center plate as a free pitch. I am a little surprised Baylor hasn't broke Trout of this habit of treating his first pitch like a spectator.

[Ohtaniland]

It's funny how Trout takes a golf swing before he enters the box. It's like he's looking for that low pitch.

AO youre slipping!

Dont sell yourself short doc. Youre twice the radiologist trout is, but if he called you today and gave you advice, you would listen. So its the same.

if you think that's a golf swing,I'm guessing your swing needs a lot of work

2015, Trout isn't even allowed to watch the home run derby.
