Week 6 Little Hero of the Week

OF Mike Trout was named Little Hero of the week.

Why He's Here: .357/.486/.750 (10-for-28), 2 HR, 3 2B, 1 3B, 6 RBIs, 7 R, 6 BB, 3 SO, 2-for-3 SB
The Scoop: Trout smacked home runs in consecutive games at Springfield on Sunday and Monday and followed up with a pair of doubles on Tuesday. With six bombs on the season he's more than half way to his career high of 10, which he set last year the Class A level. Trout's walk rate has held steady this season (11.4 percent), but he's striking out a bit more (19 percent of at-bats) as he's turned on the jets with a .273 isolated power figure that blows away anything he's done previously. Maybe it's a conscious effort by Trout to add home runs to the mix—or maybe it's the natural result of a top prospect learning to turn on pitches he can deposit in the seats while also swinging and missing more frequently against Double-A pitching.
