ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout is in his 11th full big league season. He has won three American League most valuable player awards, eight Silver Slugger awards and made nine All-Star teams, and he’s not even halfway to the milestone Miguel Cabrera reached Saturday, when the Detroit Tigers slugger notched his 3,000th career hit.
“Three thousand … man, that’s a lot of hits,” said Trout, who entered the Angels’ game Saturday night against the Baltimore Orioles with 1,428 career hits. “I mean, you’ve got to put up a lot of numbers, year in and year out. It’s incredible.”
That Cabrera lined a hard single to right-center field against the Colorado Rockies for his 3,000th hit seemed fitting to Trout.
