Thanks for watching! Mike Trout has been the best player across baseball, for a long time. But his prime was wasted, because of a mismanaged Angels organization. He is the most wasted MLB talent in MLB history.

Title: Mike Trout: The Most Wasted Talent in MLB History
By: Purely Baseball
The Angels mismanagement should be ashamed for wasting this generational talent.
Nah blame Trout he resigned nobody forced him to stay
management doesnt win games neither do coaches
@@nomercyinc6783 Yeah sure players win or lose games but management is responsible for acquiring the right players for the team to succeed and coaches are responsible for developing players and making good decisions in games. In both cases, the Angels have failed miserably. I'm a Pirates fan, and I know whereof I speak.
Mike Trout and Albert Pujols arguably had the best first 10 years of their careers anybody has ever seen. Mind boggling statistics. Edge to Trout. Let's see what Ohtani does after 10 years.
As a Cardinals fan and someone who grew up admiring Albert. I think I can appreciate even more than most just how absurdly insane Trout's prime was. Legend.
Only Albert has two rings.
You what to trout?
Pujols > Griffey Jr > Trout
Arod had better same with griffy Jr. Learn baseball more. Albert is much better in his prime
I want trout to win a championship so freaking bad. Please angels trade him for the betterment of baseball history.. we as fans deserve to look back on trout as a champion and an all time great.
he still going to be an all time great even if he doesnt get a championship. as a dodger fan i dont give a fuck what mike trout or any other teams players do. stat lines arent important. games being won matters more than player stats and analytics. analyzing all the numbers doesnt make players any better or worse.
if Mike Trout really cared about winning he would've demanded a trade years ago instead he choose money over Championships
I disagree. He easily could of held out during his free agency to milk the most money possible, but instead he kept it simple and signed for the Angels. He could of gotten more if he really wanted to.
@@jaredheath3642Thats worse lmfaoo you took less money to be on a bad team when its common in baseball that you take a bunch of money to go to a bad team...
@@BostonBori92 say what you want but I am glad Trout is with the Angels.
He's loyal, but definitely said this spring " go get some talent"... and they didn't. I think he's worried about what others think... but honestly we'd love him no matter what.
Well they got ohtani
@KingZimmer3018 they had Pujols... they had Othani... they had a chance to sign Snell and Montgomery and Belly and every other free agent... and they did nothing.
They should have traded Othani before the year started or at the very latest by May. They made horrible decisions with trying to go for it last year but waay too late... then blew it all up.
You know it's bad when the As have a more promising team than them and the As are happy with putting up cardboard cutouts. Roster looking like 3 years deep on drafts on MLB the Show.
if he cared what people think he wouldnt be an angel. he looks so foolish. not loyal. being loyal to a shit team is entirely pointless and worthless
He’s not worried about shit except a paycheck. He’s comfortable not winning, he’s no goat. Great player.
Damn waste. Trout is a lambo locked up in an abandoned garage
That analogy is quite a true fact
I've been a life long fan of the Angels, and by association a huge Mike Trout fan. There are only 2 things that will change his career: Arte Moreno selling the team and getting as far away from this organization as possible, or a trade. I am secretly hopeful that Moreno sells the team and they move to Salt Lake City, out of the dodgers shadow and to a place where baseball fans can truly appreciate the team and where ownership would be capable of putting together a competent roster to surround Trout.
Aka mike trout is being king felix'd before our very eyes
Quite literally
Facts
Go to the Phillys man. Take that team and your hometown to the promise land
Phillies are bums and don’t deserve him.
Trout on the Phillies would be unstoppable
@@F1zziiyea but you’d have to give up a lot unless of course he signs as a free agent
If he ever comes back, he should just be a DH.
Trout has a brain and two eyeballs. He could easily see that the Angels had no real future with their farm system. He signed a 12 year deal with them and wasted his own prime. The Angels not trying to trade Ohtani showed how laughably pathetic their front office is.
Yep
Script writers are already working on a 41 year old washed Mike Trout to sign a 1 year extension and have a career offensive year as a DH for a fairytale send off season, as the Angels win the World Series.
Big agree ....they are never gonna win anything
Yep, exactly.
Yes Man 👍
He might be the most wasted talent in the history of American sports.
Yes
July
ATL 🔥🥃
Trout is one of the saddest stories for modern baseball fans. We always like to see the best players play in the biggest moments. And Trout has played in one NLDS. ONE!! His one shining moment was last years WBC. Sad
This can be said for a lot of players: Ryne Sandberg, Ted Williams, Ernie Banks...
Also Ken Griffey JR. First ten years. Great the best player maybe ever. 50 hrs 3 times. Tremendous fielder. Then last 10 years nothing
How many videos with the exact title are you going to upload ?
I’ve never made a video with “wasted”, in the title, until this video.
Don't forget Ernie Banks. Mr. Cub never made it to the postseason. I would put him ahead of Trout for sure.
I could agree with that 1000 percent
I think trout is cool😈
Ernie Banks would like a word...
You act like every big name has a world series under their belt
I already know people in the future are gonna use “trout has no ring” card to prove he isn’t the “GOAT”
Trout fan boys are absolutely crazy and fanatical. He's batting .220 this year with a lifetime average under .300 but somehow he's the GOAT.
.963 isnt almost a thousand. its almost 1. 1.0 is NOT having a 963 ops. its .963 as its not even ONE
He is in deep decline already. Troutie, as we once knew him, is long gone.
I have to agree unfortunately
Love how loyal he is, true team player like derek jeter. However his very overrated, war is the most useless stat ever stop with it.
I guess a Trout will never quite be a Salmon. one of them won a WS ring. even when fishing, one is a much better meal than the other.
I mean... Ernie Banks saw even less PS action. Just sayin'.
Hey he made $$$$$$, !! There was NO waste of talent ! No such thing!, he sleeps with stuff $100 bills in he’s pillow case
can someone give me a nba equivalent to mike trout? im not the biggest mlb fan
It’s bad when you waste your own talent; even worse when someone else wastes your talent. Way to go Angels front office and owner.
Mike Trout should of waited in 1 years in tell he was a free agent instead he extended contract with the Angels.
Loyalty one way is Stupidity
Mike Trout should of waited in 1 years in tell he was a free agent instead he extended contract with the Angels.
It’s trouts own fault. Year after year I’m wondering what the hell he’s still doing there.
no mention of his bad back taking him away for chunks every year. Can't make the playoffs when he is also quite absent.
5:13 last bring up the stats not war. War useless
I like his loyalty but it’s too bad the rest of the team is trash. Now without Ohtani to bat before him…
No one wanted another Tim Salmon
>>garunteed first ballot Hall of Famer
>>"waste of talent"
Sorry, that shit dont make no sense. That is not a career wasted
The game is about winning.
People wanna be mad bc he’s not on their team 💀💀
Stay mad - he’s still better than your favorite player
How is this a own? I'd rather win without trout, then lose all the time and be pathetic with trout like the Angels have always been doing.
@@a.a677 cool the leave him alone
The ability of the Angels to either waste players' careers or to turn elite guys into average guys needs to be studied.
It’s truly insane
@@PurelyBaseballYTIt’s because there are some teams who believe that you only need one player to carry you team to a World Series. When it’s the exact opposite, you need nine men on the diamond to win it all. While your star player will be a big part of helping your team win it all, he can’t do it all by himself. Trout’s back must be aching in pain for having to do an all-time carry job do even lead the Angels to MEDIOCRE and sometimes bad seasons
At this point, no one in Aneheim should be shocked or angry if Trout ever does request a trade. The man has given the team EVERYTHING, and has been given nothing to show for it. The contract? As if a team like the Yankees, Dodgers or Phillies weren’t gonna offer him something similar. Loyalty is always a nice story and I’ll give Trout props for it, but loyalty is only honorable when it’s rewarded.
Trout's good but there was better players that never won it all ether. Just look at the M's had The kid, Ichiro, The king to name a few.
Free Mike Trout
Free him
Trout and the fans of the Angels deserve(d) much better! But....as a Tiger fan, I can't figure out how they ever lose a series. The Angels have owned the Tigers almost forever, or at least it seems like it. Whenever we go to Anaheim we can't even score two runs in a game. This year, all we get to do is watch Schanuel, Rengifo, and O'Hoppe just roll over us like nothing. You should petition MLB to play half your games in Detroit.
I don't get the Angel's at this point trading Trout would be better for them as well. You already got absoultey nothing for the best baseball player in the planet that everybody knew was gonna leave you. While Trout to so has some sort of good value you should trade him to a Contender and get a bunch of good prospects
Mike Trout Needs To Be Loyal To Himself & Start Doing For Him Instead Of Doing For Them.
Still a great player, but would probably be best at DH/4th outfielder since he's been injured so often in the last 5 years.
Big heart
Small brain ?
Ask for a trade. Ask.
You could argue ichiro's talent was more wasted
Ichiro won in Japan's NPB though. Even though the Team he won with no longer exists. And he also won the WBC with Japan against rival Korea.
@@HoshizakiYoshimasa True but what does that mean in mlb terms?
I wonder how many times a new gm came in and on the first meeting, looked at the roster depth chart and said with a laugh “Well, we got Center Field locked down.”
mike trout to the braves?
👀
What is my man talking about in regards to 2017? This team wasn’t that bad with an 80-82 record, Andrelton Simmons was 8th in mvp voting with a 7.9 war, and Mike Trout was an all-star in 2017 though he missed some games.
Simmons was a beast that season
But, that rotation man.. thats really what kills me about that team.
Yeah that’s true. Their rotation was ass now that I look at it. Ricky Nolasco as your #1, that’s not gonna cut it.
As an Angels Fan who has had an Angels podcast for three years, I’ve grown tired of this narrative. One of the biggest reason why Mike Trout hasn’t been to the playoffs is Mike Trout. Is he fully the blame? Absolutely not. However, he has had many opportunities to put the team on his back and down the stretch he tends to fade away.
No ways. Baseball isn't basketball or football. One player cannot carry the team. I don't care how good they are. I know WAR isn't a perfect statistic, but even in his best years he had a 10 WAR. 10 more wins in a season probably won't put them in the playoffs, and that's assuming his value over a replacement player. Realistically 7 or 8 more wins compared to an average MLB player.
Trout has nobody to blame but himself. If you are loyal to mediocrity you will be rewarded with mediocrity.
No, blame to Angels for refusing to rebuild in the first place.
@@aidenawe9359 No. If a restaurant serves bad food, go to a different restaurant. If you keep eating at the same bad restaurant, its your fault.
@@kerry7932 when the angels signed Trout to that huge contract do u really think they didn't tell him things like " Mike if u choose to take the contract extension now instead of testing free agency we'll try our best to put together a team around u that can compete for chips "?
@@joel8692 That is why Trout should have put an opt out clause in his contract. He had 100% of the leverage in contract negotiations. If he signs away that leverage, again it is Trout demonstrating irresponsibility..
He had his chance to walk away for a fresh start but instead he chose to further prolong his misery. So he has no one to blame but himself.
Ernie Banks is right up there. 19 year career two MVPs 14x All-Star, HOF, no post season appearances.
ernie banks played in an era where the playoffs was just the world series. mike trout has played in an expanded playoff era and still has only made it once.
@@justinllamas1 Banks' teams never even sniffed the playoffs.. there's a difference.
@@dre32pitt very sure if u had 10-12 teams make the playoffs instead of 2 every year ernie banks would have had more playoff appearances
@@justinllamas1 4 times they were above .500.. only once did they reach 90 wins..
And if you're gonna full on 'what if'.. then you have to factor in expansion (only way 10-12 teams will be in the playoffs) and subsequent expansion drafts which would've possibly robbed the Cubs of there key bench people and possibly even some starters.. His last effective season was the year they lowered the mound.. that has an effect... I mean we can go on and on.. the FACTS are he was on shite teams that could never get past PIT and STL..
And his mgmt didnt really help things... Trout's ownership has thrown money everywhere!!! Not effective, but at least they're spending money and trying to field a team (vernon wells.. .really???? REALLYY???)..
