What if Mike Trout NEVER Got Hurt? | A Baseball Numbers Story

Mike Trout's career has been labeled a "tragedy" by way too many baseball lovers. So, what if he NEVER got hurt?

In today's video, I use a little algebra to figure out what Mike Trout's numbers could look like if he never got injured. But first we have to take a closer look at his unique greatness! Did you realize his career started better than maybe anyone else in baseball history? We then dive into the numbers, the historical impact those numbers would have, and wrap up with a look at what this would mean for the Angels franchise and a closer look at why this even matters at all...

Join me as I unpack and celebrate the living legend that is... Mike Trout.
