Mike Trout has been healthy this year and is leading the major leagues in home runs.
So far, that hasn't been enough to help the Los Angeles Angels withstand Shohei Ohtani's departure.
If it feels as if Trout and the Angels can't catch a break, this is certainly another example. The three-time MVP finally looks like his old self again, but with Ohtani gone, Los Angeles is eight games under .500.
The 32-year-old Trout has reached the postseason only once, a decade ago. From 2012-19, he won those three MVPs and finished second in the voting four times. He is already in the top 50 all-time in Baseball Reference's version of wins above replacement.
