Mike Trout — CF. Trout is hitting .242 with 20 home runs, 46 RBIs and a .383 on-base percentage that leads all Angels regulars in this preview, well ahead of Neto’s .315 mark. His .436 slugging percentage confirms he remains one of the more complete hitters on the Angels roster.
Vaughn Grissom — 2B. Grissom has turned into a steady run producer for the Angels, hitting .248 with 9 home runs and 54 RBIs from the second base spot. His .390 slugging percentage adds pop behind Neto and Trout in the middle of the Los Angeles lineup.
