Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2013 2:01 am
Mike Trout has followed up his tremendous rookie season with an All-Star campaign, but he is still looking to improve.
Trout, who is hitting .322/.399/.565 with 15 home runs, 59 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 2013, wants to work on his batting eye.
"I want to work on my plate discipline, sometimes I chase pitches," he said when asked what aspects of his game he wanted to improve.
Trout averages .110 walks per plate appearance, higher than the .105 BB/PA he posted last season. He is on pace to strike out 122 times against 82 walks this year.
